It's nice to see people writing about more than the 'pedia.
The North Adams Transcript covers WP, EvoWiki, and Wikibooks: http://www.thetranscript.com/Stories/0,1413,103~9054~2471955,00.html
And does anyone know these Canadian IT Traning people? They apparently just started setting up a site, but half of their links are to Wikimedia projects... and they're obviously waiting for a wikiversity site to be set up (check their one "Press Release"). http://www.canadianittraining.com/Main.htm

An encouraging site.

I'm trying to make sense of this.
I'm naturally suspicious of this. They have too many domain names which appeared when I looked more closely at the contact information. They also have canadianitoverseas.com and educationbeyondboundaries.com which link back to the same website.
The phone number for the CEO is listed as belonging to one W. Jolly of Richmond Hill, Ont. The other phone number appears to be unlisted.
I also followed through the link to their Nova Scotia based Web design provider. That gave me another site of theirs at http://www.cittilearningsystems.com/ That, at least, has a more substantial page about the courses that they offer, mostly IT and business related but with none of the courses being described beyond having a title. Evolution Learning of Halifax http://www.evolutionlearning.com/# also seems to be theirs. The lack of any personal names to all this is an alert to me.
I suspect something like Vancouver University International that was dicscussed not long ago. They may be trying to piggyback on Wikiversity to build credibility for themselves!!! :-D So far their track record is too slim to be meaningful.

Further to the above I have pre-emptively registered the domain wikiversity.ca
