Representatives from the Attorney General's team visited Sioux Lookout on Tuesday to meet with the K-Net team to identify strategies for supporting court and corrections officials to better connect with the First Nations across the region. Lead by Robert Gordon from the ministry's Thunder Bay office, six others came from Kenora, Dryden and Toronto offices to find a way to work together to utilize and support the community networks and be able to effectively deliver their services in these remote First Nations.
Carl Seibel, from Industry Canada's FedNor program, was able to join the discussions and assist the provincial officials to understand the federal government's investments in the First Nations local telecommunications infrastructure.
