Freespots gets a new coordinator!

That’s right - and this new coordinator is me. I had a chance to sit down with Jeff Roach, the executive director of Catalict/PropelSJ, last week to discuss Freespots. I was very interested in helping out anyway I could. Luckily, I am getting that chance now.

I’ve signed myself up to work on promoting the brand, validating existing Freespots, and growing new Freespots all across the city! I’m really excited to get started. The place to watch in the meantime is our Facebook group. Join up and invite your friends!

So what is Freespots? Simply put - it’s the public wi-fi service for the city of Saint John, New Brunswick that covers the city with FREE wireless internet. That’s right - free!

So how does it work? Instead of asking the city to spend hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to provide wireless internet in the city, Freespots works directly with the community. Freespots encourages local businesses to install and maintain wi-fi access points according to an established standard and promotes participating businesses and city property owners that have installed wi-fi hotspots according to the standard. There are no fees required to participate.
