Update – May 26, 2009
After working with the residents, organizations and businesses within Bruce County to determine the areas lacking in available high-speed internet connectivity, we submitted our proposal for infrastructure funding on Thursday February 12, 2009. Please click here to view a map of the targeted areas for improved broadband access. At this point in time, we have still not received feedback from the Provincial government on approval for this project, or expected announcement dates. We will continue to stay in contact with ministry representatives and we will inform you of any changes and/or updates as they become available.
In the Digital Economy, broadband, or high speed, internet access offers significant opportunities for rural residents.
By providing a greater number of educational and economic resources, Bruce County will be well-positioned to be a leader in this new economy.
To facilitate this, the County of Bruce intends to apply to the Provincial Government's "Rural Connections Broadband Program". This program will provide funding for up to one-third of eligible project costs to a maximum of $1 million to improve the infrastructure of high speed internet access.
The first step is to find those areas of Bruce County that is currently un-serviced or underserviced by high speed access. If you are a resident or business in the county and cannot get high speed internet, please fill in our form to identify your location. We will be using this information to build an accurate illustration of where broadband service is required.
