What is a Community Access Program?
The Community Access Program(CAP) was
developed by Industry Canada to help communities in Canada's rural and remote settings to obtain affordable public access
to the Internet and the skills to use it effectively. Access to the Information Highway will help create new and exciting
opportunities for growth and jobs by providing these communities with the ability to communicate with each other, conduct
business, enhance job skills and exchange information and ideas.
What is a Community Access Center?
Community Access Centers are typically
located in schools, libraries and community centers. Here in New Carlisle the Community Access Center is located on the first
