'Digital Ontario' A symposium that examines governance, leadership, civic
engagement, strategic partnerships for development in a digital era

Date: Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 - Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Place: Delta Guelph Hotel and Conference Centre, 50 Stone Road West, Guelph
and The Arboretum, The University of Guelph

The goal of the meeting is to bring together academics and practitioners to
explore the capacity of Ontario society to adapt to the digital era and
benefit from the expansion of broadband. The proposed event has the
following specific objectives:

Provide a forum for those leading broadband initiatives to present their
experiences and ideas for the future
Engage in thematic discussions about specific strategies for broadband
enabled development and address digital divide issues
Invite local, national and international experts and practitioners with
substantive knowledge of ICTs for development to discuss strategic
directions.

The themes of this symposium emerged from discussions among academicians,
researchers, policy makers, service providers and representatives of civil
society organizations. These discussions included several forums such as the
December 2006 meeting "Toward a Broadband Research Agenda for Ontario:
Urban, Rural and Remote Contexts" at the University of Toronto. The province
will provide an overview of this work and seek input on future directions
for enabling a digital Ontario.

Hi - I thought that you might be interested in forwarding this info to
your groups.

ZAP quebec now has $70,000 in the bank from various governmental
funding and they are awaiting another $10,000.   They announced hiring
their first full-time employee today.  They currently have 60 hotspots
up.

ZAP Sherbrooke is financially supported through various gov and local
(university, chamber of commerce) partnerships and now has 150
hotspots up.

Subject: [wirelesstoronto-discuss] A grateful farewell to Wireless Toronto -
	moving on to new challenges
Message-ID: <bf835100803131208o45776219mbc316a24dfe3aad4@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Friends, Associates & Colleagues:

As many of you know I was pleased to be a founding member of Wireless
Toronto <http://wirelesstoronto.ca/> following the initiative and leadership
of Gabe Sawhney who got all of us together just about three years ago for
the first meeting at the Centre for Social
Innovation<http://www.socialinnovation.ca/>.
>From that meeting this amazing grassroots initiative spread across the
GTA<http://auth.wirelesstoronto.ca/hotspots_map.php>.


During my time with Wireless Toronto, I had an opportunity to meet and work
with many great people. I learnt a lot about WiFi and related technology,
deepened my knowledge of community, and had a lot of fun.

I am grateful to Gabe and all the other founding members for their
companionship and for the opportunity to make a modest contribution to
expanding the reach of 21st century community resource. It is fitting too
that Wireless Toronto is housed at the Centre for Social Innovation where it
all began, in place that takes community and initiative seriously.

With the responsibilities of my consulting practice, my curatorial
responsibilities with the new reading series livewords,  and an invitation
to join the Board of Directors of the Old Town Toronto Promotional
Alliance<http://www.oldtowntoronto1793.com/>,
I am no longer able to make a meaningful contribution to Wireless Toronto. I
wish everyone at Wireless Toronto the best and it is my hope that the
initiative will continue to thrive and grow.



With many thanks,

Subject: [wirelesstoronto-discuss] A grateful farewell to Wireless Toronto -
	moving on to new challenges
Message-ID: <bf835100803131208o45776219mbc316a24dfe3aad4@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Friends, Associates & Colleagues:

As many of you know I was pleased to be a founding member of Wireless
Toronto <http://wirelesstoronto.ca/> following the initiative and leadership
of Gabe Sawhney who got all of us together just about three years ago for
the first meeting at the Centre for Social
Innovation<http://www.socialinnovation.ca/>.
>From that meeting this amazing grassroots initiative spread across the
GTA<http://auth.wirelesstoronto.ca/hotspots_map.php>.


During my time with Wireless Toronto, I had an opportunity to meet and work
with many great people. I learnt a lot about WiFi and related technology,
deepened my knowledge of community, and had a lot of fun.

I am grateful to Gabe and all the other founding members for their
companionship and for the opportunity to make a modest contribution to
expanding the reach of 21st century community resource. It is fitting too
that Wireless Toronto is housed at the Centre for Social Innovation where it
all began, in place that takes community and initiative seriously.

With the responsibilities of my consulting practice, my curatorial
responsibilities with the new reading series livewords,  and an invitation
to join the Board of Directors of the Old Town Toronto Promotional
Alliance<http://www.oldtowntoronto1793.com/>,
I am no longer able to make a meaningful contribution to Wireless Toronto. I
wish everyone at Wireless Toronto the best and it is my hope that the
initiative will continue to thrive and grow.



With many thanks,

I really cannot believe this from the

"One Zone, THT's wireless Internet service, proved to be a resounding
