Network Maintenance Tuesday, March 20th 7am-8am

Telus will be working on the Vancouver Public Library's network connection, where the main VCN servers are located. The maintenance will occur on Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 between 7am and 8am.

As a consequence, users will not be able to connect to the Internet and outside users will not be able to access any websites hosted by the VCN. Also, incoming mail and news from the Internet will be interrupted for the time period; they will be queued on neighbouring servers until the network connection comes back up.

We apologize for the service disruption.
