New fibre optic system Implementation of the Halton Catholic District School Board's new fibre-op- tic based Wide Area Network (WAN) has now begun. This network will replace the current infrastructure with a more reliable, high-band- width service. The Board's current WAN provides some schools with faster, more reli- able service than others be- cause of their proximity to Bell Canada locations. The new network will connect all schools with the same high- speed, reliable service. Schools that are now not served by the current network will be the first to be con- nected to the new WAN, by March 1, 2000. t THE WELLNESS CENTRE Chiropractic: Dr. Tom Thompson D.C.
