What is Code for Canada?

Code for Canada is a national nonprofit that enables governments to deliver better digital services and empowers communities to solve civic challenges. Our programs connect residents, government innovators and civic technologists, so they can work together to build a better nation.

Our Programs

The Fellowship

Our fellowship program embeds technology and design professionals inside government, where they collaborate with public servants on the things that matter.

Civic Tech Community Network

We serve as a hub for organizers across Canada, and we help local civic tech communities to grow and scale.

Education and Training

Code for Canada's Education and Training Program equips public servants with the fundamental skills they need to succeed in the digital era.

Civic Hall Toronto

Civic Hall Toronto is a hub for government innovators. Members get access to workshops, events, project collaboration and a co-working space for their teams.

GRIT Toronto

GRIT Toronto offers a usability testing service which connects technology creators with diverse and underrepresented users in the city.
