The Work

The Pathways to Technology project is a large, complex undertaking and the work will likely span four years or more. The work is currently in the design and planning stages, and includes ongoing efforts to secure additional funding. All Nations Trust Company (ANTCO), the First Nations Technology Council (FNTC) and the First Nations Health Council (FNHC) are working together on a steering committee which includes a number of advisory members: the First Nations Leadership Council, Health Canada, the Ministry of Labour and Citizens’ Services (Network BC) and the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations & Reconciliation.

As work proceeds and each First Nation community becomes connected, efforts will be made to ensure that an Internet service provider is in place and that appropriate skills training and other supports are also available.
