This week’s issue of Wawatay (October 16) marks another milestone, with the fiftieth story being published on the Kuh-ke-nah page of the newspaper. Each of the 17 issues contains two stories researched and written by Rick Garrick, a First Nations journalist, about how people across the region are using and supporting the on-line resources and services made available by Keewaytinook Okimakanak. The sidebar contained in 16 of these issues is produced by K-Net staff to highlight different on-line applications and services created under Industry Canada’s Smart Communities initiative.
