“The project will involve the four western provinces,

the North West Territories and the Yukon,” said Don Lussier, executive director of the newly created Dis- tance Education and Tech- nology branch of the min- istry education.

unique because it is the first time this many educational jurisdictions have worked to- gether.

“There is a large consti- tution of people living in the north who don’t have access to this sort of education,” said Penner,“ We are hoping to adapt distance education to their needs.” .
