On October 31, Peace River's Community Futures office is one of 20 sites around the province that is hosting an innovative virtual conference entitled Using Rural Connections to Support Alberta’s Rural Development Strategy.
The event is being organized by Communities without Boundaries, an organization devoted to supporting and developing local coalitions of community champions and technology providers to promote broadband usage.
At each site, participants will gather to watch and listen to the conference speakers and also have an opportunity to connect with each other.
Speakers will explain how they are using broadband Internet and the Alberta SuperNet to tackle everyday issues in the areas of education, health, economic development and rural quality of life. The closing session will explore the challenges and opportunities of developing First/Last Mile Connectivity.
Register for the event at the link above. You need to first register for the site and then register for the event venue.
The day starts at 8:30 and finishes at 3:30, with lunch and refreshments provided (that's why you need to register).
Hope to see you there!
