Goals and Objectives
1. The project is community-based:
- Extensive community outreach has been done to engage organizations interested in building
capacity for individual community members and the social support sector.
- Host sites will provide Internet access points at a range of geographic locations across
Kitchener-Waterloo, ensuring maximum access for all community members.
- Specialized host sites will provide access points for all of the vulnerable population groups
targeted by Industry Canada.
2. The project will build community:
- The community vision adopted by this project will be implemented at the site level through
site vision and strategic planning to develop the site's programs and services for their
community and/or target population.
- Sites and project contributors will be linked on-line to establish a network to encourage
communication and joint efforts that can increase sustainability of the network overall.
- Facilitation, training, face-to-face opportunities and resource exchanges will build
relationships for shared resources, mentoring and continued joint efforts.
- Continued participation on the Waterloo Region CAP Working Group will allow us to share
information and collaborate with other CAP initiatives in the area.
3. The project will focus on local content:
- Local community information content will be provided through specialized software and web site
applications.
- Site generated content will contribute to local content through Websites and possible pilot
projects.
- The project will increase the information and services available to community members through
the host sites
4. The project will develop the capacity of organizations by encouraging the integration of
Internet access services into services already provided by the organizations.
