Code for Canada

Code for Canada is a mission-driven, civic tech, national nonprofit that aims to improve life for residents using technology and design. Its aim is to promote, enable and advance the development of accessible and responsible public-interest technology, civic technology and digital government across Canada. Gathering Residents to Improve Technology (GRIT) is a service that connects technology creators with diverse and under-represented communities across Canada, including people with disabilities. Through GRIT, service delivery teams are able to build better digital products and services for the people who will ultimately be using them. In turn, users are able to provide direct and honest feedback on the design and development of digital solutions intended to serve them. By including people with disabilities in design and development, GRIT mitigates the risk of AI bias in technology solutions before they launch and helps ensure their accessibility.
