Makerspace North at the City Centre will play host this weekend to Random Hacks of Kindness Ottawa, which is, as the name suggests, a hackathon for social good.
Kinaxis is a sponsor of the event, which will bring together volunteer developers and tech-savvy do-gooders to work with charities, community groups and social enterprises.
Kinaxis CTO Jack Noppé said the firm is passionate about using technology to solve complex problems.
