March 17th Inaugural meeting

We are pleased to share the recording of our March 17th Inaugural meeting with you as 10 minute podcasts uploaded to YouTube. To insiders, the acclamation of 11 volunteers as a Board of Directors was the highlight of the day. To others, the excellent presentations by Mayor Glenn Taylor, Dr Marco Adria and the Olds Institute were the most important parts of the event.

Help us develop our Business Plan

Our goal is to encourage capacity building and collaborative planning by rural communities in regard to broadband access and use. It seems sensible to engage in a similar collaborative process for our own planning even though we have only a very limited time to complete the first iteration of our Business Plan. We therefore want to solicit the views of as many stakeholders as possible.
