Here is a preliminary environmental scan of
provincial public access organizations/member-owned Internet service
providers
and municipal/community- owned broadband/ wi-fi sites that I know
about. It will help us in any potential activity to be able to point
to an active community.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>Individual public access sites</b>: </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">In many provinces, existing public
access sites were part of community resource centres, libraries,
immigrant centres, recreational centres, youth drop in centres,
day care centres, seniors centres etc. prior to adding CAP to their
service delivery options and since the dissolution of CAP continue to
do so. </p>
