Media Release

The purpose of this electronic permission form is to ensure all participants wishing to participate in the live online experience programs offered by Canada Learning Code have some information regarding the risks that may be present during the program, in order to help the participant to make informed decisions regarding their participation.

If this registration is for a minor, you will also be required to complete a consent form for the minor(s) to participate in the program. This form and the release language should also be read to apply to the minor, for whom you are consenting.

This program will be delivered real-time live online via Zoom’s video conferencing technology. Zoom’s Privacy & Legal Policies are available online, and Canada Learning Code recommends that you review them before participating in the program because Canada Learning Code is not liable for any non-compliance with Zoom’s policies.

During the program, participants may experience some of the following activities: computer instruction, ice-breakers and presentations.

This program will have at a minimum two adult (18+) instructors online at any point, who will be facilitating any break-out rooms that may include 3 or more participants. All instructors and mentors have undergone background reference checks administered by Canada Learning Code through Triton Background Check. Learners are empowered to learn with us with their video turned on or off at their comfort and discretion.

Canada Learning Code is supported by instructors and mentors who have volunteered to participate and help others learn in a social and collaborative environment. Unlike our youth programs, volunteers of Ladies Learning Code adult programs do not require background or reference checks to volunteer nor have they been trained specifically to work with youth.
