The Community Access Program (CAP) is a government of Canada initiative administered by Industry Canada that aims to provide Canadians with affordable public access to the Internet and the skills they need to use it effectively!
HISTORY & OBJECTIVES
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. Then in December 1999, following a successful pilot program in urban communities, CAP is now being rolled out to larger population centres of over 50,000.
It is 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.
