[Advisors] Telus - internet for good project

[Tracey Axelsson]

Hi all

In case you missed it - TELUS launched this project with the BC government
and Computers for School - it's not tied to a housing complex - it is any
single parent living on Ministry assistance.

Just for info - VCN has been supplying free wifi to a few shelters in the
Downtown Eastside and is working with a consortium of do-gooders(!) to get
a non-profit house in the areas access.


all the best, Tracey!
