This event is part of <a href="https://codetocareer.ca/" title="https://codetocareer.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Code to Career</a>, a program powered by the dynamic partnership between Canada Learning Code and BrainStation and funded by Upskill Canada [powered by Palette Skills] and the Government of Canada.

The Code to Career program is open to all adults 18+, designed in a way that seeks to explicitly welcome people with underrepresented genders—this includes cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and others who are marginalized because of their gender identity or expression.We also believe that addressing the gender gap in tech is just one part of building digital equity. A more just and equitable future for technology in Canada means building programming that supports, empowers, and equips all learners who historically have been—and continue to be—underrepresented in tech, particularly Black, Indigenous and other Racialized learners, people in low-income communities and newcomer learners.Please be mindful of this when entering this space in how you show up to support marginalized people.To request an accessibility accommodation or for inquires about accessibility, please contact <a href="mailto:accessibility@canadalearningcode.ca" title="mailto:accessibility@canadalearningcode.ca" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">accessibility@canadalearningcode.ca</a>
