    What is a C@P Site?

    The Community Access Program (C@P) is a Government of Canada initiative, administered by Industry Canada, which aims to provide Canadians with public access to the Internet and the skills they need to use it effectively.

    C@P Sites provide internet service, computer support and training in computer programs.
