Over $1.9 million will be for Northwestel to bring high-speed internet to 152 Indigenous households in Whatì. Also, a $480,000 grant sees SSi Micro expand cellular access via a repositionable communications shelter near Fort Providence, which allows hunting and fishing territories to stay connected.

The federal government wants high-speed Internet accessibility for 98% of the population by 2026, with a goal of universal coverage by 2030.
