We, here at Intelegia have been preaching about the power of Web 2.0 and its various tools. There is no doubt that social networking platforms have brought people together regardless of location.
After defining an investment attraction, retention and expansion strategy for Hyron Corporation, thanks to our parent company, E&B DATA under the management of investment strategist, Isabelle Poirier, Intelegia took the mandate to the next level.
Intelegia is quite proud to share with you the details of a pilot project using Facebook.
We have created a page in which members of the local business community and stakeholders of the mining sector can connect to share information and promote the region as a location to invest. The Northern Lights Mining Network© has the objective of building a virtual network for entities in the sector operating north of the 53rd parallel. The network will serve presently as a central hub for those in Labrador and eventually be a resource for those across Canada.
Some of features on the page include:
- Event listings
- RSS Newsfeeds
- The Wall
- Notes
- MyFlickr
If you wish to become a ‘fan’ (member) of The Northern Lights Mining Network© , log onto Facebook and click on the link posted above associated with the network’s name. Stay tuned for new developments on this exciting initiative.
This Northern Lights Mining Network certainly is the ‘buzz’ word in Labrador West and, we anticipate, for Northern Canada. As isolated communities, leaders in cold climate industry, and the challenges of remote living and working it is vital for the success of rural economic development that social media platforms such as this network be put in place and used. It is the way of the future. It is a way that rural Newfoundland and Labrador and rural Canada will be able to successfully compete on the world market!
Thank you to E & B Data, and subsequently Intelegia for their efforts on creating this opportunity for Labrador West!
