Good Luck teams and have fun

An Internet Community Facility is now being constructed in Pikangikum.

This Internet facility will include:

• a conference room for meetings,
• a lab with 25 computers for anyone who wants to use the internet for surfing, online banking, edit their homepages, etc.
• 2 private meeting rooms will be available for students who are doing their Post-Secondary Education or attending the Internet High School for those who wish to complete their High School Education.

This facility will be serviced by a small restaurant. We're expecting the grand opening to be in early May.

A Big Thanks to FEDNOR/Carl Seibel for partnering with our community and providing some of the funding for this important local development!!!
