About GTDI

Gateway to Digital Inclusion

Welcome to Gateway to Digital Inclusion, serving the greater Calgary and Edmonton areas – Treaty 7 and Treaty 6 territories. Gateway to Digital Inclusion offers multiple opportunities and resources for self-advocates, families and job seekers to gain and improve digital literacy skills. Our offerings include the Gateway To Digital Inclusion (GTDI) mobile app and Digital Literacy (GTDI) Program. 

Our mobile app is more than just a digital literacy program, it is a virtual office, resource centre, learning centre, venue and social community. In addition to our digital inclusion hub offerings, we provide support and resources such as workshops and information sessions as a multi-path learning resource. Gateway is here to help individuals learn and succeed in work, life and play.
