Coding for Veterans

Today is the National Day of Mourning. We remember those who have lost their lives, been injured, or become ill as a result of their work, and reaffirm our commitment to safer workplaces for all. #DayOfMourning #WorkersMemorialDay #WorkplaceSafety

It was a pleasure to be on Parliament Hill for the Coding for Veterans “Salute to Excellence” reception. In partnership with @uOttawa, this work is helping veterans transition into careers in tech — building talent and a renewed sense of opportunity across Canada. As this work continues, I also want to thank Serge Blais for his leadership and wish him well in his upcoming retirement.

Ce fut un plaisir d’être sur la Colline du Parlement pour la réception « Salute to Excellence » de Coding for Veterans. Ce programme, mis sur pied en partenariat avec @uOttawa, facilite la reconversion professionnelle des ancien‧nes combattant·es vers des carrières en technologie, renforçant ainsi le bassin des talents et ouvrant de nouvelles perspectives partout au Canada. Par ailleurs, je tiens à remercier Serge Blais pour son leadership et lui souhaite le meilleur pour sa retraite.

We’re excited to welcome back Coding for Veterans as a partner of Atletico Ottawa. 🤝 @Coding4Veterans supports members of the Canadian Armed Forces, veterans, and their families retrain and gain the skills needed to build meaningful careers in the global tech industry. 💻 🇨🇦
