More Provincial Funds For Northern Broadband
The Ontario government is investing more than $2.3-million in seven broadband projects that will support rural and Indigenous communities in Northern Ontario.
The money comes from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation.
Keewaytinook Okimakanak is getting $139,130 to secure an 18-month contract for extended satellite bandwidth for Fort Hope, Martin Falls, Neskantaga and Webequie until permanent fibre optic cable is installed.
$110,942 will allow K-O upgrade broadband fibre optic cable in the Ojibway Nation of Saugeen.
Minister of Northern Development Greg Rickford says broadband is a key driver for economic growth, innovation and job creation and keeps our communities connected to their families and businesses.
The Kenora-Rainy MPP adds for too long, the north has lacked access to high-speed internet with limited connectivity in many remote communities.
Other projects receiving funding:
-$1,036,772 for the Corporation du Développement Économique et Communautaire (CDEC) de Dubreuilville to install fibre optic infrastructure from Wawa to Dubreuilville, as well as to plan and secure partnerships with telecommunications companies for future broadband improvement projects
