Slate Falls, Muskrat Dam and Koocheching First Nations, working with the Windigo First Nations Council, learned last week that they have been approved to develop a broadband connectivity solution in each of their communities. Under Industry Canada's Broadband for Rural and Northern Development (BRAND)program and FedNor, Slate Falls will be expanding their telephone system to network all the buildings in the community. Muskrat Dam will be constructing a satellite earth station to provide broadband connections throughout their community. Koocheching is planning to construct a broadband radio connection over to Sandy Lake to deliver broadband connections and services in their community.
