Internet Funding Coming For Remote Communities

The Ontario government is investing $150 million in broadband and cellular service.

Premier Doug Ford made the announcement Wednesday saying the funding will help create even more economic and educational opportunities in rural, remote and underserved areas of the province.

Access to broadband is a core component of the province’s Learn at Home plan.

Education Minister Stephen Lecce says reliable Internet, particularly in rural and regional areas, is essential to supporting students’ success in school.
