Thanks to the support of
the Government of Canada through funding from Industry Canada and
support from the Saskatchewan Provincial Library and the Government of
Saskatchewan, Parkland Regional Library has been able to maintain 31
CAP sites in the region Iincluding Engfeld.
The Community Access Program (CAP) is a Government of Canada initiative,
administered by Industry Canada, that aims to provide Canadians with
affordable public access to the Internet and the skills they need to
use it effectively. With the combined efforts of the federal,
provincial and territorial governments, community groups, social
agencies, libraries, schools, volunteer groups and the business
community, CAP helps Canadians, wherever they live, take advantage of
emerging opportunities in the new global knowledge-based economy. Under
CAP, public locations like schools, libraries and community centres act
as “on-ramps” to the Information Highway, and provide computer support
and training.
