This is about a month late, but I got this announcement and have been 
meaning to post it.

Victoria Free-Net Public Terminal
 
At 1:00 pm on March 8th, the Greater Victoria Public Library, in
conjunction with the Victoria Free-Net Association, will officially
open British Columbia's first free public access to the world of 
international computer networks.  This public terminal is directly
connected to the Victoria Free-Net.  Free-Net offers free access
to a range of community-based and international information services,
on-line conferences and electronic mail.
 
Until now, use of the Free-Net has been limited to people with home,
office or school computers equipped with modems.  Through the 
library's terminal Free-Net is now accessible to everyone.
 
The public is invited to come to the Central Library and explore
the world of Free-Nets.
 
Futher information can be obtained from:
Jim Scott, Head of Central Library/Associate Chief Librarian, 382-7241
Gary Shearman, Chairman, Victoria Free-Net Association, 385-4302

The Victoria Free-Net welcomes everyone.  Dial in at (604)595-2300, 
with N81 and VT100 emulation, telnet to freenet.victoria.bc.ca or
drop in to the Central Library at 735 Broughton Street Victoria.
Login as Guest.  Request your free account inside the "Administration
Building" menu pick.  Free, but remember, donations are accepted.
 
If you *still* want more information, I'd be happy to send you my
tirade "Three good reasons to build and support Free-Nets" or
my even longer (gasp!) "The decline, fall and rise of Democracy".
