The provincial and federal governments connected in Sudbury on June 24 to announce more than $97 million to expand broadband internet service to thousands of households in small towns between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie.
Hutchings said the expansion project is part of a larger plan initiated by the federal government several years ago. "And I'm delighted that more than $850 million has been spent in Ontario since 2015.” She said this latest investment of $97 is building up "high-speed connectivity in your province right here in your backyard."
Sandhu said providing high speed connectivity to every community in the province, including all of Northern Ontario, is a priority for Ontario. "Our government has been delivering on our promise to ensure that every Canadian from coast to coast to coast has access no matter where they are,” she said. “I can tell you as Northern Ontario caucus chair, we've had very rich discussions around the prosperity of our communities and prosperity of future populations in our communities. And we know that broadband and having good access to that is a key element to that success.
