On July 9, five of the six Regional Management Organizations (RMO) with Industry Canada's First Nations SchoolNet program met over their IP video conferencing network to discuss various collaborative initiatives. Check out the pictures of the meeting using the new network bridge.

In anticipation of some additional opportunities to develop and support a variety of additional services and on-line applications, each of the RMO shared their ideas and recommendations. Each team agreed to take on different tasks to ensure all the First Nation schools across Canada are able to benefit and participate in these innovative initiatives.
