About CAP
Updated: 2000-05-07
The Community Access Program (CAP) is a Government of Canada initiative,
administered by Industry Canada and aims to provide Canadians with affordable
public access to the Internet and the skills they need to use it effectively.
With the combined efforts of the federal, provincial and territorial governments,
community groups, social agencies, libraries, schools, volunteer groups and the
business community, CAP helps Canadians, wherever they live, advantage
of emerging opportunities in the new global knowledge-based economy.
Under CAP, public location schools, libraries and community centres act as
"on-ramps" to the Information Highway, and provide computer skills and training.
CAP is the key component of the Government of Canada's Connecting
Canadians initiative, whose goal is to make Canada the most connected nation
in the world. CAP started in 1994 in rural communities with populations of under
50,000. Then in December 1999, following a successful pilot program in
urban communities, CAP is now being expanded out to larger population centres
of over 50,000. By March 31, 2001, Industry Canada wants to establish
public access sites in 10,000 rural, remote and urban communities across
Canada. It's hoped that CAP sites will join together in networking
opportunities enabling them to pool resources and form networks
to be able to offer more to their communities.
