Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, December 18, 2003, the Honourable Gerard Kennedy, Ontario's Minister of Education, and city councillor Sylvia Watson joined me to officially launch the newest site for the Learning Enrichment Foundation Online Community Access Program Network. Located at the Masaryk-Cowan Community Centre in my riding of Parkdale--High Park, this project is funded by Industry Canada.
By becoming a member of the Learning Foundation Community Access Network, our community will gain access to jobs and local programs. In fact, this federal program has become a catalyst for community development activities across the country.
Parkdale--High Park is a vibrant and progressive community. Industry Canada's Community Access Program ensures that we have equitable access to the tools and resources that will strengthen our community. This is also a great example of two organizations, the Learning Enrichment Foundation and the Masaryk-Cowan Community Centre, working together to meet local needs.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank all three levels of government that are working with local people to solve local issues.
