About Us
The Work
The First Nations Internet Exchange Society’s purpose is to address the digital divide for First Nations communities and citizens through education, leadership, and mentorship as part of its core functions.
It is also a pathway for engineers and technology professionals to interact in a safe space between organizations, individuals, and Indigenous communities.
The Opportunity
Create a space for the collaboration of technical expertise, indigenous knowledge keepers, enterprise thought leaders and community enthusiasts as ally’s and project development through peering and partnerships.
The Action
It is the mandate of the board of directors and members at large to support promotion of the implementation, operations, and innovations of an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) in the Vancouver area and support other regions in the Province of BC. Partnerships with other IXP locations for sharing best practices and joint projects are also part of value-added efforts with identified key industry and community partnerships.
