Government of Canada (FedNor) Commitment of $10 Million to Northern Ontario Broadband Connectivity
On April 21, 2005, the Honourable Joe Comuzzi, Minister of State (FedNor) announced that the Government of Canada, through FedNor, would commit 10 million dollars to establish broadband points of presence in unserved Northern Ontario communities. This investment reflects FedNor’s ongoing commitment to promoting regional connectivity and building a knowledge-based economy.
FedNor invites Letters of Interest from communities, First Nations and non-profit organizations to fill the role as community aggregators in the implementation of this connectivity initiative. Successful applicants will work closely with FedNor and act on behalf of participating clusters of communities who are interested in securing broadband services on a regional basis, and develop community-based programs to build demand and encourage adoption.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE:

Letters of Interest must be received no later than 3:00 PM on Thursday, June 2, 2005. Please submit one electronic copy of the Letter of Interest by e-mail to Theo Noël de Tilly
