The concept of personal identity can be extremely varied and complex, especially when considering the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, economic class, sexuality and disability.

We know that these categories reflect many diverse identities and that our community members may not necessarily apply the terminology that we've used to identify themselves. For example, Black people are not a homogenous group and many may identify as Afro-Caribbean or African-Canadian rather than Black, folks who with disabilities may not all identify themselves using the same labels, and so on. We are collecting this information so that we can have a broad understanding of how we are serving the communities to whom we have made a specific commitment— that in order to change the future of tech, we must focus on Canadians who have been historically underrepresented in the technology sector.
