HackRegina Fall 2019 Hackathon

HackRegina is a strong and well-known tech community for Regina, SK. The non-profit organization started as a small Slack channel but has begun to grow into a community for software developers to share knowledge and get to know one another. Through hosting events and our Slack channel, we hope to create a network of Regina tech companies to both share knowledge and help Regina stay ahead of the latest technologies.
