FreeNet is an interactive community. It includes local and international electronic mail, information about education, education, the community, health, technology, technology, government, arts, recreation, the law and much more. The Durham FreeNet is being organized organized as an incorporated, nonprofit nonprofit community utility, free to everyone everyone in Durham Region. The system is being designed and set up solely by volunteers, supplying their time, effort effort and expertise to put all of the elements elements in place. Virtually any organization organization with a public outreach can use the FreeNet to distribute schedules of events, descriptions of programs, and other helpful information. Anyone in the community with access to a computer with a modem can connect with the FreeNet at any time, day or night, by dialing a single number in the local calling area. For those who do not have computers, and all those members of our com munity that require special types of access, plans are afoot to make public terminals available in libraries, schools, community centres and almost almost any other location where there is a demonstrated need. Like the radio, telephone and television television before it, the home computer appears ready to make its contribution. contribution. The medium holds the possibility possibility to be far more powerful than its predecessors, because it provides the information, along with means, for individuals to become more directly involved in what is happening, not only in their community, but also provincially, nationally, and yes, even internationally. The FreeNet concept is rapidly being being accepted around the world, and Canada is poised to play a central role in its development. Ottawa and Victoria are already fully operational and start-up projects are running in Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Elliott Lake, Sudbury, St. Catharines, Halton-Peel, Toronto, Fredericton, and St. John's. We believe Durham Region will benefit by becoming a partner in this international network.
