The Lindsay, Ont.-headquartered non-profit, formerly known as the Pinnguaq Association, will continue running Canada Learning Code’s (CLC) programs. Ampere CEO Ryan Oliver will run the combined organization, with CLC CEO Melissa Sariffodeen stepping down. (The Logic)
Talking point: Both organizations run classes to teach coding and other technology skills to adults at low or no cost. Ampere was formed in Nunavut in early 2012 to focus on rural, remote and Indigenous communities. CLC started a year earlier, initially focused on coding classes for women. Both Ampere and CLC have received funding from the federal government’s CanCode program, designed to help teach digital skills to youth and teachers. As The Logic first reported, CanCode is one of 15 programs launched under the Liberal government of then-prime minister Justin Trudeau that are set to run out of money if they’re not renewed.
