Community Meetup

Calling all coding enthusiasts and industry professionals! Join us for an Introduction to Canada Learning Code and your local Chapter! Canada Learning Code is a national charity that designs, delivers, and partners on technology education for people in Canada and the local Chapter offers beginner-friendly workshops aimed at those currently underrepresented in tech.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this event is designed to ignite your passion for coding, expand your network and welcome you to the Canada Learning Code community in your city. Learn about Canada Learning Code's impactful initiatives, empowering individuals across the nation to develop valuable coding skills. Connect with like-minded individuals, including seasoned professionals, educators, and fellow coding enthusiasts. Build lasting relationships and unlock opportunities for collaboration. Don't miss this exciting event! Whether you're curious about coding or already immersed in the field, come join us for an inspiring and educational experience. Mark your calendars and reserve your spot today! Let's unlock the world of coding together.

• “I’m curious about tech and code in general”
• “I am a complete beginner when it comes to coding”
• “I want to give back and cultivate my professional skills through networking, mentorship or instructing!”
• “I have some coding skills but I’m looking to try my hand at something new!”
• “I have financial barriers that make it hard to pay for classes and training”
• “I’m not sure if I belong in tech— I wish I saw more people like me leading this industry!”

This event 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 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.

If this sounds like you, or if you want to learn more about how to foster inclusivity in your local tech community, we can’t wait for you to join us!

None! Our meetups are for everyone!

• Great venue with a fun, social and inclusive learning environment

• No laptop required—just bring your curiosity! We’re here to answer any questions you have about our Chapter community and how you can get involved.

This event is part of Code to Career, 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.
