Riichi Canada (RC) is an unincorporated organization established in 2019 promoting riichi Mahjong in Canada, picking up after a vacuum left with North American attempts at continental leadership for a national alternative. Total membership is difficult to determine: the three main clubs are Club Riichi de Montréal, Toronto Riichi Club, and UBC Mahjong Club. There exists an informal communication structure for public and representative purposes, but otherwise, all clubs operate independently: usual rules, organization, operations. Riichi Canada acts as a national representative to international representatives that recognize RC as a legitimate unifying force. Riichi Canada supports the endeavours of the North American Riichi Mahjong Association, but as a separate entity.
