Canada CODE

About Canada CODE

Canada CODE gives people who live in Canada a collaborative way to share who we are with each other and the world.

As we count down to 2010, who better to tell the story of Canada than the people who live here? We want everyone to help show what we’re made of - literally - by uploading short stories and photos about our daily lives and neighbourhoods. Your photos. Your words. This Canada.

If you’re an international visitor and curious about Canada, we invite you watch the site grow and upload your Canadian experiences.


Canada CODE Challenge

Trade inspirational words and photos with high-profile Canadians. Each week we’ll pose a thought-provoking question, encouraging you to build on your Canada CODE.
