Launch of the First Nations Innovation Research Project
Researching and Celebrating Achievements with Information and Communication
Technologies
<http://fn-innovation-pn.com> http://fn-innovation-pn.com
Hello everyone,
Please see attached invitation (poster and media release) and circulate
widely on your networks.
A team of First Nation organizations and researchers is launching the First
Nations Innovation project to study and celebrate the achievements of remote
and rural First Nations with information and communication technologies. We
recognize the value of research to support and develop understanding,
evidence-based policy and transformative change. The partners are
Keewaytinook Okimakanak in Ontario, the First Nations Education Council in
Quebec, Atlantic Canada's First Nation Help Desk / Mi'kmaw Kina'matnewey and
the University of New Brunswick.
On Thursday February 21, 2013, the team will launch the new project and
website. We invite everyone to join us by webstream for the 45-minute event
- hosted by project partner the First Nations Education Council - starting
at 1:30 Atlantic time, 12:30 Eastern, 11:30 Central, 10:30 Mountain and 9:30
Pacific.
View the webstream here at the start time: <http://meeting.knet.ca>
