Our government will continue to work side by side with our partners to achieve our connectivity targets and ensure every Canadian, no matter where they live, has access to high-speed Internet by 2030,” said Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development, in a boilerplate statement.
Access to fast, reliable Internet helps rural Canadians by levelling the playing field to access essential services like health care and education, participate in the digital economy, or simply connect with loved ones. “We all know that Internet is no longer a luxury in this day and age-it’s a necessity. The announcement is part of an existing agreement signed between both governments in July 2021, to expand fibre internet to over 280,000 homes in Ontario, through joint investments of over $1.2 billion. The contract will see Bell Canada implement high-speed internet for over 6,400 homes in Arnprior, Braeside, Burnstown, Carp, Constance Bay, Dunrobin, Fitzroy Harbour, Glasgow Station, Kinburn, Marathon Village and White Lake. The federal and Ontario governments on Monday announced an investment of over $13 million to expand high-speed internet in Ontario.
