Community Initiatives Grant means better Wi-Fi access, online sales for Exhibition Park
LETHBRIDGE – It’s been a long time coming, but vendors and patrons alike will soon be able to get better Wi-Fi access at Exhibition Park, and make purchases directly through their website – thanks to $49,592 grant from the province’s Community Initiatives Program.
Exhibition Park CEO Rudy Friesen says they’re appreciative of the encouragement from local MLAs like Maria Fitzpatrick who have been “incredibly supportive” of their activities.
“We had decided some time ago, as an order of business it was time to upgrade our computers and the hardware equipment that we use for our day to day business.”
The biggest portion of the upgrade, Friesen explains, includes the server network that they need to manage all the activity that comes in and out of Exhibition Park.
