The September 18 issue of Wawatay News contains two more news stories about the work being completed within the Kuh-ke-nah Network of Smart First Nations demonstration project.

This week's issue of the Kuh-ke-nah page in Wawatay News include the following articles:

• Keeping their community satellite systems going: Fort Severn, Webequie and Slate Falls are three of the 12 First Nations across Northwestern Ontario that have to use a C-Band satellite connection for their community broadband services. Local technicians and administrators in each of these communities share their business strategies for maintaining their local broadband network.
• Rez Pez; the hilarious on-line diabetes health initiative: Rod Fiddler, the Sandy Lake Diabetes Coordinator, is working with a variety of communication technologies along with a heavy dose of humour (Sandy Lake style) to get a very important message across about the food we eat and its effects on our health.
• K-Net Showcase - contains photos from the K-Net photo gallery with images of the some of the elders who are living and working across the north, ensuring the traditions, culture and language are protected and maintained.

Rick Garrick is researching additional stories for future articles. If you have a story that you want to share about this project and the work that is happening in your community to get connected, please send us an e-mail.
