If you are unable to connect to the Internet from your home, Lisa
Lang wants to hear from you.
The Broadband Project co-ordinator for Bruce County spoke to Huron-Kinloss
council Dec. 1 at its general committee meeting. Her job is to identify
"dead spots" where people cannot access the Internet.
"It's all part of the Rural Connections Broadband Program, a
$30-million, four-year initiative by the provincial government. The goal
is to reduce broadband infrastructure gaps in rural southern Ontario so
people can fully participate in the digital economy. It will also
improve public access to government services and information, and
enhance quality of life," she said.
