Many rural communities and First Nations in Manitoba will be receiving federal funding to be connected to high-speed internet.
Yesterday the federal government announced over $41 million in funding for 11 projects that will improve connections in around 93 communities, including Dauphin Beach, Ebb and Flow First Nation, Clear Lake, Onanole, Sandy Lake, and Sifton.
Currently, many rural Canadians lack access to high-speed internet.
Through the Connect to Innovate program, and the Rapid Response Stream of the Universal Broadband Fund, the Government of Canada is taking action to get Canadians connected to high-speed Internet.
