Delivering better internet service to everyone in Thunder Bay.
Both the CEDC and TBayTel coming together to help with the bandwidth upgrade for homes and businesses thanks in part to provincial funding for the Fibre To The Home Project.
“The requirement and demand for bandwidth are immediate and are quickly becoming the highest
priority issue for Municipal leaders, residents, and businesses,” says Eric Zakrewski, The Chief Executive Officer of the CEDC. “As many may know, due to COVID 19 businesses have turned to e-commerce as their main form
of doing business and more and more people are working remotely. The availability of high-speed
internet service will no longer be a barrier to success for businesses and remote workers in rural
Thunder Bay.”
The project will impact homes and businesses in the areas of Alice Avenue, Belrose Road, Broad Oaks Drive, Mount Forest Boulevard, Highway 61, Loch Lomond Road and Government Road.
Oliver Paipoonge also received $2.34 million to bring the internet to addresses in the areas of Hwy 102, Mining Road, Rosslyn Village, Kakabeka, Hwy 130, Oliver Road, Nicholettes, Mud Lake Road, and Pole Line Road.
