It was originally the Vancouver Regional FreeNet, which offered text-based access to community information and to the Internet. It continues to provides internet services for individuals and non-profit groups, including dial-up and web hosting.

The VCN HotSpot project (one of the many VCN projects) is a captive portal solution for wireless community organizations who wish to host a free Hotspot in Vancouver,Lower Mainland and other cities in British Columbia.
