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 32 CAP sites in the region including Watson.
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.
