<p>Hello advisors. We had a great session with Michel Mersereau this
week whose research is extremely relevant to this community. If
you were unable to attend, I hope you will take some time to
listen to it. He has done some indepth analysis on how internet
access or the lack thereof impacts the life of households and of
residents of housing communities. He is also doing a lot of
outreach in the Toronto area with political and social leaders to
raise awareness and promote action.</p>
<p>I genuinely hope we can continue supporting on-going work like
this and the NCF MESH Network proposal we heard about last month
-- both of which deal with internet access issues among our less
advantaged citizens. The pandemic has finally laid bare the gaps
we all knew about. Perhaps it will also lead to programs which
will resolve these issues. But for sure, that won't happen if
there is no activity pushing decision-makers in that direction.</p>
<p>Thanks to Andrew at NCF for archiving this meeting:<br>
