=====================================
In the Halifax Region we have the Chebucto Community which provides  
connectivity at no cost for people who can't afford it and at low cost  
for others. I am assuming if a person receives a computer at no cost,  
he/she would take advantage of Chebucto. In Nova Scotia provincial  
funding has kept a number of CAP sites open.
