Find help near you, if you would like it

Every programme above helps people anywhere in Canada. If you'd like, we can also show programmes in your own province or territory.

Your postal code and location never leave this device. We only use the first letter of your postal code to know which province you're in β€” nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing is saved unless you say so. If you use "Use my location," your browser will ask permission first; saying no is completely fine.

The move is

Every organisation on this page wants to help you. Do not be shy about reaching out β€” there are no silly questions, and everyone starts somewhere. If you are not sure where to begin, dial 2-1-1 and ask about digital literacy help near you.
