Interesting, I had not heard about this program, thanks. I grew up in Brandon, where there is not much of a tech culture to be found (moved to and currently work in Calgary). Is there a tech community in Winnipeg?
Small and growing. It's a bit fractured at the moment and there are many places to focus one's attention, but that's better than the alternative of nothing at all.
I see things improving for us over the next few years.
