There is a Vancovuer Developers Slack channel which is a great forum to ask for help on projects, checkout freelance opportunities, or get together and code with others!
And if you join the channel #lhl-coffee-code you can come hang out with us on Wednesdays and work on coding projects!
If you are interested in ethics in tech, we also have an ethics in tech meetup group - we'll probably have a group for this in Vancouver Developers at some point but if you're interested, feel free to drop me an email (sadiefreeman@gmail.com) and I can put you in touch.
Meetup Also has a ton of meetups for tech - these can be a great way to meet developers and get advice on projects.
