A community paper is not just about the community, it’s also by the community. While editors and reporters at SCAN will be alert to what makes the sector tick, they can’t be everywhere. We’ll never claim to know it all.

But collectively the members of the community do know it all, and some of what you know will interest others. So please share through the columns of SCAN and by posting to SCANsite. Send us news of your achievements, of your people (when they’re hired, when they’re recognized by peers, when they solve the difficult problem). We’re interested in who’s doing what in Ontario’s high tech community and we look forward to hearing from you.

At the apex of SCAN’s editorial team is a band of distinguished and influential columnists, led by Denzil Doyle CM, former CEO of Digital Equipment of Canada and frequently referred to as the archangel of Silicon Valley North; Fred Belaire, formerly secretary of the Economic Council of Canada and chief economist of Atomic Energy of Canada, who writes on intellectual property and the knowledge economy; and technology marketing guru Peter Fillmore P. Eng.

Handling the bulk of news sifting and tracking biographical detail is Greg Patterson, who was a writer for Silicon Valley NORTH and is published in various Canadian magazines (Maisonneuve, Ottawa Magazine) and newspapers (Ottawa Citizen). You can reach Greg by Email at greg@scansite.ca.

The pleasure and honour of leading this editorial project falls to me (I’ve left bio notes in the section Who We Are And What We’re Doing). I’d be happy to hear from you whenever you have news to spread.

Fare well.
Tony Patterson, Editor and CEO
