Jim Sapay, Carleton Blackhawk and Tom Kuzemchuk from the Northern Nishnawbe Education Council worked with the K-Net team to develop a strategy for rolling out the NNEC video conferencing network across the Sioux Lookout district in each of the Wahsa Distance Education Learning Centres. Video conferencing equipment is presently installed in the Sioux Lookout NNEC sites (at the main admin building, Pelican Falls First Nations High School and at the Wahsa DE building) and in Thunder Bay at the Dennis Cromarty High School.
With the support of Industry Canada's First Nations SchoolNet program, each of the community learning centres delivering Wahsa high schools are now being outfitted with the same video conferencing systems. This equipment is intended to support NNEC and Wahsa to further develop and deliver their services for the Sioux Lookout District First Nations.
