EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION SERVICE The Ontario Educational Communications Authority will increase its educational television service to North Western Ontario this September by expanding video-tape service for isolated northern schools in co-operation with the Ontario Department of Educa- tion. This project for isolated northern schools will bring educational television to nineteen schools in remote parts of North Western Ontario which are beyond the range of broadcast television. In many communities this service will provide residents with their first opportunity to watch television. Program contents of these video-tape libraries will be selected in consultation with a regional committee of teachers to assure their usefulness within the school and the curriculum. In addition to co-operative expansion of television services to isolated schools, the OECA is negotiating with cable companies in North Western Ontario in . the hope that they will broadcast educational tel- evision programs during regular hours for the benefit of the whole community. lL A A a UU a hh a
