What is CAP?
The Community Access Program (CAP) 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 it 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 centers act as "on ramps" to the Information Highway, and provide computer support 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 up to 50,000. By March 31, 2001, Industry Canada wants to establish public Internet access sites in 10,000 rural, remote and urban communities across Canada. 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.

CONTACT DATA
In Massey, there are five CAP stations, two at the museum, and with two at the library in Webbwood. Each computer is at least
a Pentium 200, with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0. We have not asked
a fee for internet training at either of the CAP stations. However, we
ask that when you are able to offer a small donation to help sustain our CAP
program it would be truly appreciated. We are pleased to offer free
internet training sessions available in our small town during the operating
hours of both stations (hours below).
F.Y.I- Free internet training sessions are only available when CAP student is present.
