The Nova Scotia Community Access Program (CAP) is a joint initiative of the Federal Government, through Industry Canada and the Province of Nova Scotia, managed by the Office of Economic Development.
The Community Access Program is designed to assist communities to establish public Internet access sites and to train local citizens to make use of information technologies for social and economic benefit to the individual and to the community.
The goal of the program in Nova Scotia was to fund up to 240 sites in schools, libraries and other community centres before March 31st, 2001 to provide communities with affordable public access to the Information Highway, has been met. Communities are currently working together to increase and sustain services available at the sites.
Through stories from nine community access (CAP) sites in the
Halifax region, this documentary explores digital divides and the
value and ever-changing potential of community access to the
Internet and information technology.
