For almost nine years, The Vision Community Paper has been delivered to your home, providing readers with the latest in stories and information of interest about people and events in Valley East and Capreol. The Vision Paper has developed a solid reputation over the years as the ‘Voice of the Community’. Since last September, The Vision Paper has entered a new dimension in communication by expanding its coverage to the internet.

Located at www.thevisionpaper.com, the ‘Online’ Edition contains just about all of the articles and photos which have appeared since September in the Vision Paper, editorials by Robert Kirwan, a wide variety of interesting links, and special sections dedicated to minor sports and other organizations. If it is happening in the community, it will be on the web site!

The use of the  internet is growing rapidly. No longer are people using this form of communication for entertainment only. They are relying more and more on their computer for up-to-date information in order to deal with their personal day-to-day activities. The Vision Paper ‘Online’ Edition is destined to quickly become the ‘Cyber Voice of the Community’ as it continues to expand to provide a communication system, which will link every segment of Valley East.

“The secret to the success of The Vision Paper ‘Online’ Edition will be in our ability to include as many sources of information as possible so that virtually everyone will find something useful about the site,” explained Warren Kirwan of Infocom Canada Business Consultants Inc., designer of The Vision Online. “If anyone has any suggestions on how we can make the site even more useful, we have provided them with easy email access in order to get us those recommendations.”

“This is an exciting time in the communication business,” commented Jean-Guy Charette, General Manager of The VISION Paper. “It seems as if newspapers everywhere are merging with television, internet and radio companies to form multi-media enterprises in order to provide the ultimate in service to their customers. Our joint venture with Infocom Canada to create The Vision Paper ‘Online’ Edition may be a small step in terms of the entire media-world, but it was a giant leap for Valley East. We now offer our customers and readers the best of both worlds - a weekly community paper and a comprehensive 24-hour a day web site service.
