Investing $233,000 to bring High-Speed internet to 335 households
April 15, 2021
I am delighted to announce that the Government of Canada, through the Universal Broadband Fund, is investing $233,000 to bring High-Speed internet to 335 households in Tors Cove and Mobile.
This announcement comes on behalf of the Honourable
Maryam Monsef, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development and with a contribution from Bell Canada of $142,500.
This project is part of the broader $1.75-billion Universal Broadband Fund, announced in November of 2020. Projects funded under the UBF, as well as through other public and private investments, will help connect 98% of Canadians to high-speed Internet by 2026 and achieve the national target of 100% connectivity by 2030.
Now more than ever Canadians need access to internet that is:
Fast
Reliable
Affordable
