Information and Communication Technology Development in Nova Scotia's Western Valley: A Backgrounder

Abstract

In 1994, the Western Valley Development Agency (WVDA) was the first regional development authority to be established in Nova Scotia. Its mission is: "Building on our diverse cultural heritage, the Western Valley Development Authority (WVDA) will work with the community to create a vital, prosperous, and self-reliant region where the people have ample opportunity for a full and satisfying life." This document is intended to accompany “The Western Valley Development Agency: A Backgrounder”. Therefore, a general discussion of the WVDA’s history will be foregone. Instead this document will describe the WVDA’s information and communication technology development projects over the past decade.
