The federal and provincial governments are pledging up to $148 million to bring high-speed Internet connections to rural northwestern Ontario. A full list of communities receiving funding to expand their broadband Internet access is available on the province's website. "Reliable high-speed Internet allows us to learn, attend school and work remotely, and it allows small businesses to serve customers." "But too many rural communities still do not have access to high-speed Internet," Hajdu stated. "Broadband access is critical for our country's economic growth and recovery, and our government is committed to making sure no community is left behind."
