Collaboration of First Nations key to jump hurdles of accessing broadband in communities – SooToday
Connectivity a major issue, says regional chief
The coronavirus pandemic has underscored the critical need for broadband in First Nations communities, said Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Glen Hare.
“With COVID the world has changed. We need broadband in all our communities, everywhere, towns, cities, First Nations. We need that to conduct economic development and many other things from here on forward,” said Hare.
Hare made the comment on Feb. 16, the first day of the three-day Lands, Resources and Economic Development forum held virtually.
