Name: Patti Chmelyk on Feb 28, 2007Comments: Isolation is one of the social determinants of health. Today's internet is akin to the telephone when I was growing up - if you did not have a phone, you were really poor - and, you were very isolated. The internet allows people who may be isolated, for whatever reason, access to people and information. The internet is also a valuable educational tool - albeit, only as valuable as TV, never to replace actually reading a book for learning through using the senses. I worry about the multi-tasking aspects of replacing reading with the internet - you have to be 100% 'there' when reading a book.Flag

Name: Penny Barton Dyke on Mar 1, 2007Comments: Every tool should be made available to individuals, particularly in rural communities. Community building comes from economic stability of citizens. Politicians need to read the United Way for the City of Kawartha Lakes "Community Matters" report. Youth, employment, transportation are major issues. Local access to computers is essential for job searches, communications, volunteerism....The people who look after the CAP sites are highly qualified and dedicated to helping people --you need to help them continue!Flag

Name: Georgia Robinson on Mar 2, 2007Comments: In a community where the majority of households do not have acess to high speed, where visitors can't acess wireless and where many households cannot afford a computer, the Community Access Program provides a necessary service. Those that have invested in there own systems still periodically require C.A.P. services because of equipment failure, connections being down, or use of peripherals such as scanners, burners and printers. In an age where the publishing of reference information and government forms is only being done on the Internet, taking away access to part of society reminds of the historic period in which a large part of society were illiterate because they had no access or couldn't afford the cost of books.Flag

Name: Monika Penner on Mar 3, 2007Comments: Community Access Programs are important and well worth the financial investment! In Kelowna, BC I see that having this program in agencies serving people who were homeless, unemployed, underemployed (etc) gave valuable access to computers and the internet. This helped people find work and familiarize themselves with the technology needed in so many jobs. As well, our local libraries utilize this program which essentially gives our whole community access to computers/the internet. It i well used and is particularly vital considering how many families struggle with poverty and may not have such access at home, which is becoming increasingly important for young (and old!) students. Any very short term (and relatively small) financial savings gained by slashing this program will cost us a whole lot more in the end!Flag

Name: Katherine Macnaughton-Osler on Mar 3, 2007Comments: The CAPs are an essential part of modern democracy in Canada. The Internet is fundamental to accessing information and mobilizing around different issues. Many people who cannot afford a computer or Internet access rely on Community Access Programs to support them. The CAPs must continue!Flag

It increases skill capacity, reduces isolation, and provides an essential service for all folks in communities. It is imperative that this gov't continues to fund these programs!Flag

Name: Barbara Neis on Mar 5, 2007Comments: I work in rural and remote communities in Newfoundland and labrador. CAP sites are a lifeline for these communities where people struggle to maintain contact with each other and with families who are often working away. They provide critical access to government information and tools and important support for schools and parents in these areas. They are cheap, effective and need to be sustained by government.Flag
