Bridging Canada's Digital Divide, Together.
Digital Literacy Across Canada is a national initiative dedicated to empowering every Canadian with the essential digital skills for today's world. We connect underserved populations with vital training, resources, and support networks.
The Scope of the Digital Divide
Millions of Canadians face barriers to digital participation. Our mission is to understand these challenges and build effective, community-focused solutions to overcome them.
Accessibility Barriers
Many Canadians lack access to affordable, high-speed internet or the devices needed to get online, particularly in rural and remote regions.
Skills Gaps
Confidence and knowledge are major hurdles. We focus on foundational skills, from sending an email to identifying online misinformation.
Inclusion Matters
Programs must be culturally relevant and accessible, addressing the unique needs of seniors, newcomers, Indigenous peoples, and other communities.
