About
CAP in River John |
In 1996 several community members, in partnership with the
Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library , formed a volunteer
Community Access Committee to promote the use of technology
in River John and area. Since that time, the CAP Committee
is proud of its work in establishing one of Nova Scotia's
most successful rural CAP sites.
As well as making technology available to the community, and
promoting its use, a number of jobs have been created for
computer trainers and researchers.
The success of the River John CAP Site led to a need for
further space to house more computers, create employment
opportunities and carry out its various programs. This
resulted in the opening of a new library in 2001, to house
expanded library and CAP facilities.
The River John CAP, with assistance from the Regional Library, has
completed a Digital Collections Project, outlining the
fascinating shipbuilding heritage of the area, and created a
website about the American Lobster.
The River John CAP also maintains this web site for the
benefit of the entire community. If you would like to reach
us, simply drop by the public library, telephone (902)
351-2599 , or email us at
rjcap@nsngp.library.ns.ca

The CAP committee meets monthly to manage the operation of
the CAP Site and to identify new opportunities for using the
facility for community development. New committee members
are always welcome. |
