In 2021 the Province Of Ontario passed the Supporting Broadband and Infrastructure Expansion Act, 2021 to help speed up construction of high-speed internet, especially in rural settings. This was complemented by the Getting Ontario Connected Act, 2022, which further reduces barriers, duplication and delays.
As a consequence, home owners in our region have already begun to be approached by representatives from telecommunications companies that are building the fibre network. As the construction unfolds in our region, more homes will be connected.
Each local municipality in SDG Counties may have one or more different telecoms installing fibre lines in their jurisdiction. If you have questions about the service, or the work being done, please reach out to the telecom company installing the infrastructure on your street or road.
The Counties SDG have set up a web page with more information, we encourage residents to visit this page.
