Petition: Save CAPS!

February 28, 2007

Debra, over at April Reign has a really good, very worthwhile petition going about CAPs.

Please check it out and sign! If you don’t know what CAP’s are, read below: (from April Reign)

From the CAPs site

Industry Canada’s Community Access Program (CAP) gives thousands of Canadians affordable access to the Internet in places like schools, community centres and libraries. It provides access to those people who might not have computers or Internet access in their homes or workplaces.In my community this program has provided access to everyone from children to seniors, the very poor to travelling business people.

CAPs also provides tutoring programs so that even those who have never sat in front of a computer soon learn how “to surf the net.”

It has provided a source of education and entertainment for youth, a way to job hunt and send resumes for the unemployed and a way to research and to stay in touch for seniors in the area.
