Keewaytinook Okimakanak programs online at national economic development event

Keewaytinook Okimakanak's Kuhkenah Network (http://knet.ca), Telehealth initiative (http://telehealth.knet.ca) and the Internet High School (http://kihs.knet.ca) were highlighted for workshop participants located in Vancouver on Wednesday, March 15.

The online workshop was hosted as a pre-conference event during the 2006 National Conference on Community Ecomonic Development & the Social Economy being held in Vancouver this week.

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada's Office of Learning Technologies (OLT) provided workshop participants with an opportunity for two of their funded Community Learning Networks from British Columbia and Keewaytinook Okimakanak in northern Ontario to share information about their local applications. The highlighted work has involved working with community members to build learning networks supported by Information Communications Technologies (ICT). The entire four hour session was archived and is available online.
