The TTT Ltd. has administered a number of New Media skills training projects involving local community residents.

The TTT’s director, John Kerr, has administered Industry Canada’s Community Access Program (CAP) in this region for ten years. He currently administers sixty CAP sites in the Cariboo Chilcotin / Prince George region. CAP sites serve as access points for the public to utilize Information Communications Technologies. The TTT has demonstrated its ability to leverage funding and to administer and coordinate large multiple projects. The TTT is able to find and work with partners in both the private and public sector.

Our other director, Dale Kerr, has her post-baccalaureate diploma from Simon Fraser University in Community Economic Development. It is our belief that in order to sustain themselves, rural communities must be able to use state-of-the-art technologies to transform information into knowledge and skills, and to expand current business practices to include technology. Local people producing community-specific documentary content using New Media applications are the foundation of our work. We design projects that use technology to address community needs, contribute to community capacity building, provide a bridge toward community sustainability, attract attention to local community and projects, and/or promote and demonstrate a transition from contemporary technologies to emerging technologies.

Recent video projects:

The TTT is located 160km west of Williams Lake, roughly halfway between Williams Lake and Bella Coola. Our facilities include a new, state-of-the-art digital video and sound-editing studio. We also have a secondary sound-editing studio in Bella Coola.
