About TINCAN:

TINCAN, The Inland Northwest Community Access Network, is a computer-based electronic community network that provides a wide range of community-based information and services to people in the Inland Northwest. TINCAN serves Spokane, Stevens, Ferry, and Pend Oreille, Counties in Washington State, and in partnership with its sister network, NICON, the counties of North Idaho.

TINCAN's mission is to provide education and support for social, economic and community development through the use of computer technology and telecommunications. Our mission is realized through:

• creating online content of value to the local community;
  
• developing collaborative training and education utilizing online resources; and
  
• in collaboration with our region's Community Technology Centers and other local partners, providing access to digital network technologies to those who might otherwise not be able to benefit from the online information available to the larger community.
