The Community Access Program, otherwise known as CAP, is a Government of Canada initiative, administered
by Industry Canada, that aims to provide Canadians with affordable public access to the Internet and the
skills they need to use it effectively.
CAP helps Canadians, wherever they live, take advantage of emerging opportunities in the new global knowledge-based economy. Under
|
CAP, public locations like schools, libraries and community centres act as "on-ramps" to the Information
Highway, and provide computer support and training.
The Community Access Program (CAP) provides funds and resources to public locations to purchase computers as well as
other electronic equipment and services, such as Internet access so that the public has affordable (and oftentimes free)
access to the Internet and the World Wide Web.
As part of the CAP program, Industry Canada also funds the CAP-YI, commonly referred to as the Youth Initiative. Participants
(youth 15-30) work as interns at CAP centre's throughout Canada, helping individuals, community organizations and small
businesses improve their knowledge and effective use of the Internet and related information technologies. Specific activities include:
 Delivering Internet training sessions;
Researching and developing Web sites;
Drafting publicity materials;
Organizing information fairs and special events;
Providing technical support to the CAP site.
