Umm, sure.

The first ever Canadian team began play in the 1998 season. This year we're celebrating the 10th ever regional in Toronto. What was known as the Canadian Regional began in 2002. Canadian teams have been participating at the Championship (then called Nationals) since 1998, and a few of them have even won the whole event at both the FRC and intermediate levels. Although levels of involvement in FIRST in America obviously dwarfs what's happening here in Canada, these competitions have not been America centric in a long time. (Nor should they be.)
