The Alberta Government, together with the federal government, has delivered high-speed internet to families in northwest Alberta following the completion of the broadband project.
Rainbow Lake is the first among hundreds of rural remote and Indigenous communities that are being connected.
Currently 92 households in Rainbow Lake are subscribed to the new service from Connect Mobility.
Some of the communities that will benefit from future improved internet service and/or speeds include Sucker Creek, Driftpile, Gift Lake, Horse Lake First Nation, Joussard, Swan River First Nation and Sunset House.
“The world just became smaller to the people of Rainbow Lake. With high-speed internet comes opportunities. Students are able to take online learning courses, small businesses are able to access a wider audience and people can seamlessly connect to loved ones. We look forward to more communities joining Rainbow Lake as we aim to connect every Albertan to high-speed internet.”
Nate Glubish, Minister of Technology and Innovation
