Most of you have heard us talking about our plans for a new more interactive web site, and many of you have seen the new parts of the site in action. Late last week, we linked the three new Intranets together with our public Internet site. When you visit our web site now, you will find in the top right-hand corner a drop down menu that will take you to the three new Intranets.
Each of these Intranets are password protected. Usernames and passwords will be assigned to the appropriate people by CAP staff as required. If you have any questions about which Intranet is right for you, or to obtain account information, please contact your program officer. As time goes on, more and more features will be added. Stay tuned! |

CAP staff have been busy traveling the province this fall. As part of our new marketing campaign, CAP now has a colorful new booth. Recently, our CAP booth has been displayed at several conferences and trade shows throughout the province. Some of you may have seen Brian, Stefan or Kelli at the RuralEXPO which was held in Gander from September 25-27, 2003. This exhibition was attended by approximately 4,000 people! CAP staff had an opportunity to talk with the public about the Program and to advertise the services CAP sites have to offer.
From there it was off to the Northern Solutions Conference in West St. Modeste, Labrador from September 30-October 2, 2003. Kelli and Brian visited several CAP sites in the Labrador Straits region and then attended the conference which was hosted by SmartLabrador. The Community Access Program received several honorable mentions as conference presenters referenced both the Program and the CAP sites in their area throughout their presentations. The conference was attended by teachers, physicians, lawyers, local council representatives, business people, community development representatives and residents of Labrador who utilize videoconferencing technology to assist in their daily lives. If there’s an event or conference happening in your area and you think CAP should attend, let your Program Officer know and we’ll make every effort to be there! |
