Industry Canada officials and guests visit K-Net and partner First Nations

On Wednesday, July 23 to Friday, July 25, several guests made the journey from their homes to travel to Sioux Lookout, Slate Falls First Nation and Keewaywin First Nation. Luis Barnola, who works with IRDC (International Development Research Centre, Head Office
Institute for Connectivity in the Americas) arranged to bring a film producer from Columbia (Mauricio Beltran) to visit K-Net and some of our partner First Nations. They flew from Ottawa to Thunder Bay and then Carl Seibel from FedNor drove them to Sioux Lookout and then we flew into Slate Falls First Nation and then over to Keewaywin First Nation.

Luis brought a copy of a publication entitled "Community Telecentres for Development - Lessons from Community Telecentres" that he shared with everyone.

It was a big success ... from July 13th to the 19th in Constance Lake.

Constance Lake 60th anniversary celebration had many people from many communities such as Mobert and Aroland coming to this special event to check out our Pow Wow and drum and dance for us.

After the Pow Wow on July 15th, there was a square dance and teen dance mixed whick took place from eight till one in the morinng. Throughout the whole week other activities were happening such as a 3 on 3 basket ball tournament and  three legged races for the youth.
