Empowering citizens through Internet education (Canada)
Ambassadeur
Ambassadeur provides citizen education and training in the use of information
technology to obtain government information and services. The project aims to
empower citizens and create relationships within the community at both local and
regional levels. It is carried out as a partnership among the Jonquière
Office of Human Resources Development Canada and the six Community Development
Assistance Corporations in the Saguenay/St-Jean Lake region. Taking advantage of
Internet Community Access Centres as forums for discussion and business
opportunities, the project promotes the use of information technology to access
the resources, products, and services of the Government of Canada and other
providers.
