Introducing FACTSnet
FACTS (Family & Community Twining Society) is a society whose mission and goals are to use the Internet as a tool for encouraging development and use of value-based media in community network development. Groups that are served by FACTS include the elderly, schools, religious groups, immigrant groups, First Nations, and other visible minorities. FACTS also recognizes the trend in information exchange and has made its mandate to facilitate dialogue in various forms and the use of the Internet as a value-based medium. Towards this end, FACTS has established a network of weblogs ("blogs") through the Google-based Blogger service. Collectively known as FACTSnet, these blogs number approximately a hundred, and each is tailored to a specific target demographic - examples include Stony Plain Heritage, Alberta Social Studies (Grade 8), etc. Through the use of these blogs, FACTS aims to bring a sense of collegiality to said networks for the betterment of education, quality of life, and community.
FACTS and Société de Tourisme Centralta (STC) are founding organization of FACTSnet. STC engages in the histories and heritage of such Alberta landmarks as St. Albert, Morinville, etc. and is partnering in FACTSnet with its own collection of weblogs geared towards the French community.
