Recognition for Northern
Light
Le Centre d'aide
et de lutte contre les agressions à caractère sexuel put on line last June an
Internet site called Northern Light. This site is an alternative
facilitating the access to specialized services in rural and remote regions
regarding the problem of sexual assault. The team of the Northern Light
project is proud to announce that our site is a finalist at the Gala des
affaires électroniques.
The gala is a
means of recognition for teams working in the domain of new
technologies. "Different successful projects in the electronics
field have often been overlooked. Putting in place solutions which improve
the process come from a new generation of applications which make information
more interesting for the needs of business. This is the place where the
teams concerned can have their projects and themselves recognized and
appreciated..." We are finalists in the category Social Innovation
(community organization or social economic enterprise that knew how to combine
technology and social development from an innovative point of view and was able
to show the benefits of using information technologies).
The event will
honor those people who, by their creativity, their know-how and their vision,
have stood out by using technologies in the domain of electronics.
If our team is
selected, we will have the opportunity to participate in the Electronics Tour
which will take place in the main towns of each of the 17 administrative regions
of Quebec. It will be a greater visibility for us who work at Centre d'aide et
de lutte contre les agressions à caractère sexuel.
The prizewinners will be revealed on November 7th in
Montreal.
