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 — particularly women, transgender and beyond binary individuals; racialized people — have access to the knowledge they need to prosper in our digital world.
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.
