COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAM
The Community Access Program (CAP) is a Government of Canada
initiative, administered by Industry Canada, which aims to provide Canadians
with affordable public access to the Internet and the skills they need to use it
effectively. With the combined efforts of the federal, provincial and
territorial governments, community groups, social agencies, libraries, schools,
volunteer groups and the business community, CAP helps Canadians, wherever they
live, take advantage of emerging opportunities in the new global knowledge-based
economy. Under CAP, public locations like schools, libraries and community
centres act as "on-ramps" to the Information Highway, and provide computer
support and training.
The program plays a crucial role in bridging the digital divide; contributing to
the foundation for electronic access to government services; encouraging on-line
learning and literacy; fostering the development of community based
infrastructure; and, promoting Canadian e-commerce.
