Canada Invests in Expanding High-Speed Internet for Rural Areas

Federal funding aims to connect thousands of homes in Manitoba and Ontario to reliable high-speed internet.

Over $38 million in federal funding will connect 3,611 homes in rural and Indigenous communities across Manitoba.
An additional $1.8 million investment targets 949 homes in four rural communities in eastern Ontario.
The Universal Broadband Fund supports these initiatives, aiming to connect 98% of Canadian households by 2026 and 100% by 2030.
Improved connectivity is expected to enhance access to education, healthcare, and business opportunities in underserved areas.
The projects are part of the government's commitment to bridging the digital divide and ensuring equitable internet access nationwide.
