[Advisors] Fwd: 👩‍💻 Overcoming Digital Divides

Mon Jan 31 09:27:57 PST 2022

Hello advisors. The Ryerson Lab has released its report on digital 
divides. Many of our group participated in these discusses and thereby 
contributed to this report. And, of course, we did speak to the 
organizers at one of our meetings. I wonder what would be a mechanism to 
move any of these recommendations forward.

👩‍💻 Overcoming Digital Divides A New Technology Report + What's New at 
the Lab

*New Report*

In 2021, with the Brookfield Institute for Innovation and 
Entrepreneurship, First Nations Technology Council, and Simon Fraser 
University’s Public Square, we held a six-part workshop series 
<https://ryersonleadlab.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=429c95f66c1b7eeb794c57e75&id=869032c7ed&e=12603ac674> 
that explored the *challenges and solutions to close Canada’s digital 
divides and expand meaningful digital inclusion for all people*.

This *new report *summarizes the main themes and findings from the 
series, and shares new data from Statistics Canada’s latest survey.

We find that*the digital divide in Canada *is not just an urban-rural 
infrastructure problem: rather, *digital exclusion is driven by a series 
of divides* correlated with socio-economic and demographic factors.
