|
January 17, 2017 announcement from the Strathcona Regional District Board:
Earlier today, the federal Connect to Innovate program, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, and the provincial Connecting British Columbia program announced that they will be funding the Strathcona Regional District’s (SRD) Connected Coast project.
The $45.4 million project, will see the placement of a sub-sea fibre-optic cable along the northern BC coastline from Prince Rupert to Vancouver, and around Vancouver Island, providing 154 rural and remote communities and 44 First Nations communities with the opportunity to connect to the internet.
|
|
In the coming weeks, the SRD will be reaching out to coastal and Vancouver Island communities, First Nations, regional districts, ISPs and industry to determine needs and possible opportunities.
The Connected Coast project will also benefit Northern BC residents living in rural and remote communities west of Prince George.

In early 2017, the Health Network actively sought letters of support to assist with the Regional District's proposal.
