INUKSHUK INTERNET ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF ITS 2004 CALL FOR PROPOSALS IN THE YUKON TERRITORY

Montreal, October 27, 2004 - Broadband wireless company Inukshuk Internet Inc. today announced the launch of its 2004 "Call for Proposals" in the Yukon territory. The call offers an exciting opportunity to develop partnerships between Inukshuk and members of the Yukon's learning communities.

Under the call, applicants are invited to submit proposals that focus on enhancing either content or connectivity related to learning and the Internet. Content proposals are welcome for innovative and creative projects to develop multimedia and feature-rich learning content, applications or learning environments for Canada's learning communities. Applications are also encouraged for connectivity projects, which will result in the provision of broadband wireless Internet access to un-served and underserved communities.

"A foundation of Inukshuk is the creation of this unique public/private sector collaboration in the learning sector," said Andre Tremblay, President and CEO of Inukshuk. "Our Learning Plan was created to offer long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships with members of the learning community, and to help develop on-line learning opportunities. The issuance of the call today is another affirmation of our commitment."

Inukshuk's Learning Plan is the result of extensive consultation across the country, carried out to identify the needs and priorities of Canada's learners. It aims to fullfil the need for on-line learning in three specific ways: Connectedness, Content and Continuity. Inukshuk has established a Partnership Committee in each of its twelve licensed service areas to provide direction and guidance on projects. To ensure the viability of its Learning Plan, Inukshuk has also committed to investing annually in each of the regions for which it was awarded a licence.

This year, up to $63,000 will be available for the funding of content and connectivity projects in Yukon.  

To obtain additional information on how to apply for funding, please visit www.inukshuk.ca or contact us at inukshuk.internet@microcell.ca.
