John and the students in village service turn up to do some "site remediation" after the truck departs.
teuscrews.jpg Not only has the antenna been donated, but the costs of crew and equipment for several days of installation, and the routers for operation have been provided. Telus has also agreed to assist the college in its bandwidth requirements necessary to run the streaming video from RaceRocks . We greatly appreciate their commitment as a collaborating partner in this unique venture.
