[Advisors] local digital divide program - Ottawa

[Shayna Halliwell]

Hello everyone,

My name is Shayna and I am the Operations and Programs Coordinator for 
the Vancouver Community Network. We are one of the recipients of the 
Industry Canada funding for the Youth Internships program and also used 
to receive funding to distribute among CAP sites before the program went 
under. We are the only recipient operating in the Greater Vancouver Area.

Please take a minute to check us out:

We are in the midst of updating our website and rebranding the 
organization, but the more the rest of the advisors knows about what we 
do here in Vancouver (even if the information is a little outdated), the 
better we can share ideas as to how to most effectively administer this 
program.

Feel free to contact me about what we do here or to share what you do at 
your organization.

Best,
Shayna
