For Jason Pyke, founder of The Hope Foundry Toronto, the distance between financial tower board room and sleeping on the street is shorter than most people think. It is measured not in miles, but in access.

The Password Clinic was born from a collision of personal trauma and professional observation. After leaving Toronto and arriving in Barrie during a difficult personal attack, faced with multiple failures of the justice system, he connected to a deeper understanding and the ability to meet people just where there at, facing their own trials.

"We are the mortar between the bricks of the social safety net," Jason explains.
"When an organization can’t step in as they often lack the capacity or the insurance permissions to assist vulnerable clients with the self administered or technical tasks, we are there to help them navigate the complexities and access."

Through The Password Clinic, he applies the rigor of corporate service delivery to social services, helping clients navigate government systems, access digital services, financial supports and utilize technology to escape poverty. He believes that in an era where government interaction is almost entirely digital, technical support is not a luxury—it is a human right.

"Technology should never be a barrier in a world that requires it for survival," he asserts. "I’m taking my privilege and experience of a lifelong career in some of the most complex industries and using that to be of service to the many in need."

A veteran of 30 years in the technology and corporate sectors, Pyke brings a expansive understanding with the powerful ability to translate sublime complexities to everyday language.  

His expertise was forged in the high-pressure environments of dot-com start-ups building his technical edge, then on to larger insurance providers, where he specialized in navigating complex regulatory frameworks like Sarbanes-Oxley, ITIL, PIPEDA and corporate governance within the arena of service delivery.

Today, under the banner of The Password Clinic, Jason champions digital inclusion for those pushed to the margins or lost in the lines. Whether he is helping someone setup accounts, navigate complex government benefits and appeals, or simply understand the device in their pocket, the service is always no-charge and met with compassion, understanding and dignity.
