On Wednesday, February 9, Carl Zoccole (Band Councillor responsible for Education), Terry Favelle (Economic Development Officer) and Tim Gardener (Youth Worker) met with the First Nations SchoolNet Regional Management Organization team (Keewaytinook Okimakanak) to discuss establishing a broadband connection to their First Nation school. The proposed solution is being funded by the First Nations SchoolNet initiative along with Health Canada to connect in the school and the community health programs into the Kuhkenah Network. Video conferencing and high speed internet are two planned applications to be carried on the network. The community plans to present a proposal to FedNor to develop their "last mile" solution for connecting all their houses, businesses, organizations and program services to this network.
