THIS EPISODE: Community hubs bridging the digital divide<\/h3>\n

In this series, we’ve talked a lot about what digital technology can do for communities. Now, we find out how that same technology is being used to create communities.<\/p>\n

We speak to Dan Alfano, manager of digital initiatives at the Edmonton Public Library<\/a>, about adapting the libraries role as a community hub to teach new skills and provide opportunities to thrive in the digital age.<\/p>\n

And, Pinngauq Association<\/a> Director Ryan Oliver tells us how connecting communities across Nunavut to digital skills, and a chance for everyone to share their stories, is actually a mental health service<\/a>.<\/p>\n
