         - Wolfville Community Radio Winner of “ICT Best Practices in Remote, Rural, and Aboriginal Communities” contest (Dec. 2011)
    The Wolfville Community Radio project, run by the Wolfville Memorial Library CAP Lab, has been chosen as one of the winners of the “ICT Best Practices in Remote, Rural, and Aboriginal Communities”. This contest was looking to identify the best methods of engaging learners through community-based ICT projects. Through this process ICT best-practices have been collected which can then be easily shared and duplicated Canada wide.
    This is part of the story written by Darlene Thompson, Inuit community CAP writer: By moving to radio, the Wolfville library and CAP site have created a welcoming community gathering place where people “learn by doing”. The CAP site isn’t a sterile place of technology only but is vibrant with the buzz of people, whether they are getting together on the sofa in the laptop corner, assisting with the radio station or taking part in any of the myriad of activities on the computers. The library too has progressed from being a book warehouse to hosting concerts, drum workshops, open mic nights and poetry nights, just to name a few. Radio has enhanced both the CAP site and library to create an excellent blend. Volunteers working with the Wolfville Community Radio project have learned some great skills and have enjoyed the opportunity to contribute to their community. A booklet is being published, as a product of the contest that will highlight stories from across the country that showcase the many great things that Canadians are doing with ICT to strengthen their communities and their citizens.
