MEADOW CREEK RESIDENTS CAN ORDER HIGH-SPEED INTERNET SERVICE FROM KIN

Meadow Creek area residents can sign up to receive wireless high-speed internet service from Kaslo InfoNet Society (KiN) on Wednesday September 13 at 7pm at the Lardeau Valley Community Hall in Meadow Creek. KiN will begin providing the internet service as soon as testing is complete, by early October.

KiN will also celebrate its 10^th anniversary in October. “Our mandate since the beginning has been to create a community access network in the Kaslo area, so launching the first leg of our high-speed internet service is a fitting celebration.” says current KiN Chairman, Tyler Dobie.

The most recent project milestone is the installation of the communications tower at Lardeau Valley Community Hall.

A huge thank you goes out to the small corp of dedicated volunteers who have invested hundreds of volunteer hours in bringing high-speed internet service to Meadow Creek residents. Subsequent service areas include Woodbury to Schroeder Creek, Cooper Creek, Lardeau, Argenta, and Howser.

Kaslo infoNet is a non-profit society founded in 1996 with a mandate to create a community access network in the Kaslo area. Successes to date include: Establishing free Community Access Program (CAP) sites at the Kaslo Library and J.V. Humphries School; creating summer employment for many students and youths to enable them to gain valuable experience in the high-growth information technology (IT) industry; launching www.Kaslo.org as a community portal for the Kaslo area; and providing web-hosting services to non-profit societies. Today KiN members are focused on bringing the benefits of high speed Internet to North Kootenay Lake communities in order to overcome the urban/rural digital divide. KiN memberships are just $5 annually.
