By sharing a sampling of reliable resources used in the discovery, development and delivery of our productions, we aim to improve our community information and knowledge sharing services, while contributing to the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals in eastern Ontario.
Help us build on these by becoming a supporter, e-mail us other invaluable resources at [email protected], and/or donate towards our efforts to co-create a modern community platform, through which we can increasingly improve information, communication, education and broadcasting products and services, tools and technologies as a service over our networks.
