When Chebucto Community Net came to Rob LeForte, External VP at the Dalhousie Student Union in Halifax, and suggested the DSU consider sponsoring an alternative Town Hall on citizen concerns over just where in the h-ll the internet mavens were taking our private data and personal freedoms, he could have easily begged off.
But to his credit, he took it up right away as something the DSU owed not just to its students and university students across Canada, but as part of Dal's obligation to serve the greater Atlantic Canadian population.
(These alternative Town Halls had been making their way across Canada and the East Coast was overdue for one.)
Atlantic Canadians need so badly to be part of the national and global conversation on the direction of where the internet is going.
October 26 - 7:00-9:30pm.
Its a Monday evening and there is only 600 seats - max - at McInnes Room, Dal SUB - so plan to get there early.
Thanks ,Rob & DSU Executive for having the vision....!
