About Us
At Canada Learning Code, we believe that digital skills are tools of empowerment. The world is changing, and we want Canada to be ready. We’re here to make sure that all people in Canada have access to the knowledge they need to prosper in our digital world.
Our programs are designed in a way that seek to explicitly welcome those who have historically been and continue to be marginalized and underrepresented in tech, with a focus on cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and others who are marginalized because of their gender identity as well as Black, Indigenous and other Racialized people, people in low-income communities, and newcomers.
Our Vision
We envision a prosperous Canada in which all people have the skills and confidence to harness the power of technology to create a better and more inclusive future.
Our Mission
Canada Learning Code brings accessible computer science to communities across Canada so everyone can create with technology. We do this by partnering with education and training providers, designing and curating resources, and delivering learning experiences.

Theory of Change
A Theory of Change (ToC) is a visual description of the changes we would expect to observe as a result of our programs in the short and long term. In other words, it’s our very own conditional (if, then) statement. If we do X then Y will change because…
