Announcing $20 million in funding to connect Township of Pelee to high-speed internet
August 5, 2021
Proud to join Pelee Island Deputy Mayor Dave Dawson and Essex County Warden Gary McNamara to announce an investment of nearly $20 million to connect every household and business in the Township of Pelee to high-speed internet.
This fibre optic bridge to Pelee Island will finally provide residents and visitors of the Island with the reliable broadband internet access they need to connect, to compete in Canada’s economy, and to fully participate in the life of the island as well as the life of our regional and global community.
Southwestern Ontario is where Canada begins, and I can’t think of a better way to fulfil our commitment to connect all Canadians than breaking ground on Pelee Island this summer.
This historic announcement was the product of tremendous teamwork and leadership by countless community partners. A total Team Canada effort.
