City Partnership with TELUS Provides “FREENET”

DATE: May 28, 2009 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The City of Vernon, in partnership with TELUS, will provide free wireless Internet on the grounds of the Vernon Public Library, and at Cenotaph Park, effective June 1, 2009. “Freenet” will be available from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., 7 days a week. This initiative is to encourage the business community, students and the general public to use the grounds for useful and productive activities. The project is on a 6-month trial to gauge interest, and will be re-evaluated in the fall.

The City appreciates the generosity and cooperation of TELUS in providing the 6 MB connection for the businesses and residents of Vernon, and it is hoped that many will take full advantage of this free service.
