CRTC Broadband Fund: Project selected in July 2024
Backgrounder
The CRTC has selected a new project to receive funding through its Broadband Fund.
The CRTC is committing $79.4 million to the Kativik Regional Government to build a 933-kilometre fibre link, which will connect the communities of Kangiqsualujjuaq, Aupaluk, Tasiujaq, Quaqtaq, and Kangirsuk to high-speed Internet services. This project will connect more than 40 essential institutions, such as schools and health care centres, and will offer social, educational, and economic benefits to the communities. It will also support future projects to connect businesses and over 700 households.
This project will build on past Broadband Fund projects in the Nunavik region and ensure that all Kativik communities are connected to high-speed Internet.
The CRTC is continuing to assess applications and will make more funding announcements in the coming months.
The selected project is as follows:
| Recipient and province/territory | Speeds to be offered for access projects, technology to be used for mobile projects | Estimated numbers of communities and households to potentially benefit | Communities | CRTC Broadband Fund contribution (approximate) | Decisions |
