The County of Haliburton will contribute $25,000 to Point in Time’s campaign to assist students in the county with internet costs in the online learning environment created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
During a Jan. 13 online meeting, county councillors received a presentation from the social services agency, explaining that some 150 students in the county were unable to attend school virtually. They heard how the data requirements of Google Meet,the platform by which online takes place, can quickly consume a family’s data package for the month.
