Who is involved?
CAP has been designed by industry Canada to help establish access sites in 5000 rural and remote communities, and up to 5000 access sites in urban communities by March 31, 2001. Affordable access to the Information Highway means new opportunities, skills, and knowledge for all Canadians, regardless of location. 
Together with provincial and territorial governments, community groups, social agencies, libraries, schools, volunteer groups, and the business community, CAP is helping Canadians take advantage of emerging opportunities in the new global knowledge-based economy.
