Brian Walmark, Keewaytinook Okimakanak's Research Institute's Coordinator participated in a one-day workshop to discuss ways that Canadian and American community networks can support telecentres in Central and South America. Representatives of First Nations in Central and South America expressed an interest in coming to Canada to meet KO community members to learn how they are utilizing ICTs. Broadband applications including the Keewaytinook Internet High School and the KO Telehealth Initiative generated a lot of interests from the international visitors. The workshop was sponsored by Industry Canada's International Development Research Centre. The workshop was held in Vancouver following the Summit 2005 conference where the KO team of Jamie Ray, Tara Toulouse, Adam Fiser and Brian Walmark presented information about the KO Youth Employment Initiative.
