Two years ago the Pubnico Community Access Program Association, a group of local organisations and citizens, were successful in obtaining money from Industry Canada and Nova Scotia Technology and Science Secretariat to buy computer and equipment for a C@P Site for the communities encompassed by the eastern portion of the Municipality of Argyle.
This project consists of four satellite locations and they are as follows:
- Western Counties Regional Library, Pubnico Head
- Le centre de recherche "Les archives père Clarence d'Entremont, West Pubnico
- Le Musée acadien de Pubnico-Ouest, West Pubnico
- Le Village historique acadien de la Nouvelle-Écosse, Lower West Pubnico
The satisfaction of the local community and visitors to our sites encourages us to keep on working toward improving our facility and possibly keeping the tourists a little bit longer in the Municipality of Argyle.
These C@P sites offer computer & Internet services to local as well as tourists for little money. Therefore we are asking you to help us continue offering these services by donating your beer and juice bottles, juice containers, juice packs, juice bags water bottles etc., for our bottle drive that will be held Saturday
June 12th .The funds will be used to help pay phone lines, high speed Internet services, upgrades etc.
In the meantime, you can drop off your bottles and containers at the West Pubnico Acadian Museum
In the meantime, we thank you and invite all of you to come and visit our C@P Sites and hope we will continue to work together in building a stronger community.
Sincerely,
Pauline d'Entremont

DEMANDE DE BÉNÉVOLES
Deux ans passés, un groupe d'organisation et de citoyens de Pubnico à reçue subvention grâce à Industrie Canada en partenariat avec le département de Technology and Science Secretariat du gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Cet octroi était pour établir un site P@C avec locaux bilingues pour la population de la région est de la Municipalité d'Argyle.
Le Centre d'Accès Communautaire offre la chance à la population de pouvoir découvrir, apprendre et s'amuser avec l'informatique et l'Internet. L'accès à l'Internet offre bon nombre de possibilités. Il incombera aux collectivités de décider où et comment en profiter au maximum.
Ce projet contient quatre locaux satellites, les endroits sont comme suit:
- Bibliothèque de Pubnico (Western Counties Regional Library), Pubnico
- Le centre de recherche "Les archives père Clarence d'Entremont ", Pubnico-Ouest
- Le Musée acadien de Pubnico-Ouest
Le Village historique acadien de la Nouvelle-Écosse, Pubnico-Ouest-le-bas.
Le Centre d'Accès Communautaire de Pubnico désire avoir des bénévoles, de tous ages, pour les aider à faire différents choses. Soit aider avec le site et avec les ordinateurs, aider au personne qui utilise les ordinateurs, avec le prélèvement de fonds, aider l'étudiant d'été avec l'entraînement, etc…
Pour plus d'information, communiquer avec Pauline d'Entremont au Musée (902) 762-3380 et 762-2655 à la maison.
