TEC is a community of people, and people need to communicate with each other. TEC has always had newsletters, but they don't come out very often.
Postage is expensive and slow.
It's always been a struggle to keep TECites in touch with each other, and to keep the community up to date on what's happening. TEC Calgary on the web began when Arabella Cheng and Vince Pang created a web site on their University of Calgary web account. It had application forms, current events, links, and a lot more. He kept putting it off, and putting it off, and putting it off. It was quite a struggle at first, because both tec.ca and tec.ab.ca were owned by businesses.
