2010 – March –  At the start of this month the team from Fredericton is in the Sioux Lookout zone in Northwestern Ontario. We are working with community members during our visits to Mishkeegogamang First Nation and Fort Severn First Nation.  Centre stage are VideoCom's Ontario Video Festivals.

We are also doing interviews and community meetings to understand community needs and perspectives on technologies. Joining the VideoCom team for the community visits are Cal Kenny from K-Net who is leading video production workshops, and Heather Coulson from KO Telemedicine who is supporting the research on Telemental Health with First Nations.

On March 8, VideoCom is supporting the first-ever celebration by videoconference of International Women's Day by New Brunswick First Nations. Technical support for the event is provided by VideoCom partner Atlantic Canada's First Nation Help Desk and the event will be live streamed from their website.

We are developing the plans for our team visit to Kitigan Zibi First Nation in June. A large team from VideoCom visited Kitigan Zibi in the summer of 2009, and we are looking forward to our follow-up visit to the community.
