CityWest will take over as internet provider for Texada Island
Texada Island is part of the Connected Coast project, an effort to bring and improve access to high-speed internet in 139 remote and rural communities. The $45.4 million project is a collaboration between CityWest and the Strathcona Regional District.
When Connected Coast is finished, a fibre optic cable will run along the bottom of the ocean from Vancouver up the coast as far north as Lax Kw’alaams. The cable will circle Vancouver Island and reach communities on Haida Gwaii.
