Why no WiFi at Cambridge City Hall? | 01/29/2010
I sent this email to the City of Cambridge today voicing my disappointment with the lack of WiFi available at our City Hall. Ironically when I pressed send I got a hasty response telling me that the address questions@city.cambridge.on.ca had failed, so it seems like they launched their City Hall website and didn’t check whether [...]
