The offices of the Honourable Joe Comuzzi, Minister of State (FedNor - Federal

The launch will include the official opening of the new 7.3M satellite earth station located at the water tower. This earth station is providing broadband connections that include video, voice and data traffic for remote communities across the northern parts of Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Representatives from each of these regions are planning to attend this two day workshop to establish an association of partners that will be sharing the bandwidth being made available to these communities through a partnership between Industry Canada and Telesat Canada.
