Telework holds the possibility of allowing skilled people to work where they want to live, rather than having to uproot themselves in pursuit of work. The City of Nepean recognizes the valuable contribution that telework makes to our businesses and their employees, the environment and to our community as a whole. The economic and environmental benefits of teleworking are becoming more evident to Canadians of all ages. Calgarians currently teleworking are helping us achieve our strategic goals to reduce reliance on the private automobile for commuting. It is through important initiatives such as the Canadian Telework Association has undertaken that a dialogue is held on how to address issues of traffic congestion, vehicle emissions reduction and improving the quality of life of workers in our cities.
Teleworking is the future.
I believe that a National Teleworking Initiative could not only help Canada exceed it's Kyoto commitments, it would dramatically improve Canadians quality of life at the same time, and save business millions and millions of dollars doing it. All rights reserved.
