Hello Connie.

The Online Literacy Project is a Canadian project, an Ontario Ministry of Education
initiative, funded in part by the National Literacy Secretariat. The snail mail address
for further information is: Réseau INTERACTION Network, Inc, 1651, prom. Country Walk
Drive, Orléans, Ontario, K1C 8E2. President: Noël Thomas. Telephone: 613-748-6996.
Project Co-orinator is Daniel Larocque, 195, rue Seaton, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5A
2T5 E-mail: <danilaro@village.ca> We are just in the beginning stages of the project,
so not much will be known until after June 99.

I'm part of the research team, and you can see I am doing my work by distance as I live
in Alberta, Canada--not Ontario!

Where is the Drake Centre?
