The Community Access Program is a government of Canada initiative, administered by Industry Canada.  It aims to provide Canadians with affordable public access to the internet and the skills they need to use if effectively.

 Federal, provincial, and territorial governments combined, offer CAP through: community groups, social agencies, libraries, schools, volunteer groups, and the business community.  CAP helps Canadians everywhere take advantage of emerging opportunities in the new global knowledge-based economy.

 Under CAP, public locations like schools, libraries, and community centres act as "on-ramps" to the Information Highway, and provide computer support and training.  CAP is the key component of the Government of "Canadians Connecting Canadians" initiative, whose goal is to make Canada the most connected nation in the world.

It's hoped that CAP sites will increasingly join together in networking opportunities, enabling them to pool resources and form networks to be able to offer even more to their communities.  CAP sites provide the general public, community organizations and small businesses with affordable access to the internet and related information technologies.  

HISTORY OF C.A.P

The CAP site began in June 1999.  The site started off with 4 computers and 2 scanners.  We now have 5 online computers, 1 scanner, and 2 color printers.  The original founders of the CAP program were Donna Mikeluk, Sue Currie, Alice Villa, Jason McNeil, Cathy Carlino, Thomas Andrews, Teresa Stortini, and Dale Cooper.
