Media.Knet.Ca

The K-Net "shed" is getting a face lift. This is the space where the first MSAT / DirecPC connectivity solutions were tested, where the original K-Net Bulletin Board System was hosted for a number of years, where Peewee Linux and the K-Net router was hatched, where the multi-media team moved and entertained others from First Nations, where computers and servers were set up before being sent up north, where all these K-Net happenings and developments occurred over the past few years.

Now, while the snow flies at the end of September, the space is being doubled to accommodate additional office space along with the new server facility for Keewaytinook Okimakanak. The space is required to support the various broadband applications and on-line training and education services that are being developed under a FedNor funded project.

Dear Community Member:

The Sioux Lookout Substance Abuse Committee, would like to invite your members to attend a community meeting to discuss a substance-free SAFE GRAD. Ms. Kristin King is the coordinator for graduation and needs our help to disband the myth that graduating, celebrating, and having fun go hand in hand with getting drunk. Several other high schools in the Keewatin-Patricia District School Division have successfully promoted a fun and truly SAFE alcohol and drug free graduation event that the students work hard toward and look forward to. Together, as a community, we could do something similar. Janet Pilozow, who helped get SAFE GRAD organized in Dryden is eager to come to Sioux Lookout and share with us what they are doing in Dryden, how they got started, how they keep going, and how we could accomplish a memorable and enjoyable safe graduation night for our youth of this community.

This gathering will be about two hours long and will include a brief Power Point presentation, with discussion to follow, about SAFE GRAD. We hope to form a committee consisting of students, parents, staff, and community members who will work together for the safety of our youth in this community. Together we can accomplish more than we think!

Please join us at Queen Elizabeth District Highschool on Thursday, October 23, 2003 at 6:30 p.m., Room #19. Be a part of the first ever gala SAFE GRAD event in Sioux Lookout. We need you!

Yours truly,

The Sioux Lookout Substance Abuse Committee
