Long Plain First Nation is pleased to announce a partnership with Mage Networks out of Calgary, Alberta, for the implementation of high-speed fibre optic internet in the community.
Chief Dennis Meeches elaborates on the infrastructure that will connect over 400 residents, with work beginning this month.
“We are expecting to have the infrastructure up for those that wish to upgrade to this new network,” says Meeches. “We’ll have everything completed by the end of May, for sure. So, it’s quite exciting.”
Meeches says Wi-Fi has been one of the major concerns for Long Plain residents, seeing as it’s vital during a pandemic for shopping, school, banking and a host of
other needs.
