BROCKET, AB – A few communities across the region will soon be equipped with broadband internet connections thanks to a new funding announcement.
The Governments of Alberta and Canada will allocate up to $70.6 million to bring high-speed internet access to over 10,400 homes in rural communities across the province.
Federal Minister of Rural Economic Development Gudie Hutchings says the internet is no longer a luxury – it is a necessity.
“Having fast, reliable Internet helps rural communities access essential services like health care and education, participate in the digital economy or simply connect with loved ones,” says Hutchings. “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.”
