#BuildBackBetter Digital Conversations: Bridging the Digital Divide

On September 8, 2020, we brought together four speakers to explore bridging the digital divide.

Canadaโ€™s digital divide is widening the social divide. Exacerbated by the pandemic, reliable high-speed internet is ever more required to access services and programs, as well as to do work and learn. But whoโ€™s gaining access and whoโ€™s being left behind?

What are the systemic barriers to digital access and how might we bridge the digital divide?

We dove into key findings of a recent research report on this question conducted by Canada Internet Registry Authority (CIRA), and explored how funders play a role in bridging the growing digital divide.
