Wireless Toronto is a volunteer non-profit community wireless network in Toronto. Wireless Toronto began in 2005 and has been setting up no-cost public wireless Internet access around the city and exploring ways to use Wi-Fi technology to strengthen local community and culture.

Wireless Toronto hotspots are created using Linksys WRT54G wireless routers running OpenWRT and WifiDog. Currently, the largest hotspot is in the historic St. Lawrence Market in downtown Toronto.

Anncounced in November 2007, The Toronto Public Library is offering free public wireless access in 19 of its branches.
