Established in March 2000, we are working to create a better communication between communities all over Canada. It is hoped that before long, our area will be known all over the country and all over the world. Purolator doesn't deliver to Lunenburg on Saturdays, but there is Internet access here. It enables our residents to work out of their homes, and local students and historians to conduct research. It enables local businesses to reach new customers, and local residents to enjoy the benefits of email and the sometimes-dubious delights of newsgroups and Web sites and chat rooms.
Internet access enables.
In fact, given that rural areas have few people, few stores, and small libraries and schools, you could argue that the Internet provides more benefits to rural areas than it does to urban ones. As a result, people who live in small towns and remote rural areas are unable to reap the benefits of Internet access. Here in Lunenburg we have done something. In March 2000, in cooperation with the Ingleside CAP Project who initiated the idea, we established a site at Mike's Big M where our residents and those of the surrounding countryside can come in and browse on the Internet.
