Answer» What is Vancouver Community Network mean? Vancouver Community Network (or VCN) is a community-owned provider of internet tools and services in Vancouver, British Columbia. The community site was originally the Vancouver Regional FreeNet, which offered text-based access to community information and to the Internet. It continues to provides free internet services for individuals and non-profit groups, including dial-up, tech support and web hosting. Revenue Canada initially rejected VCN's application for charitable status, which would have allowed it to issue tax receipts to donors that would reduce their taxes. VCN appealed this decision, and in 1997, the Federal Court of Appeal ruled that providing free internet service was a charitable tax purpose. reference
