Few other details were released in the social media notes to expand on how that leverage process works, a timeline for the service to start, or what cost there is to the partnership towards provision of the services.
Gold River is located in the central region of Vancouver Island west of Campbell River.
The partnership between the two organizations was recently profiled on the Strathcona Regional District social media stream, noting of the ongoing work of the Connected Coast program,.
According to the timeline for the Connected Coast program, the partnership is roughly two thirds of the way towards project completion which is anticipated for some time in 2024.
More on the Connected Coast initiative can be reviewed here .

Gold River gets fiber and in Prince Rupert I can't, yet my taxes subsidies Gold River customers!
ReplyDeleteActually Citywest subsidizes your taxes and not Gold Rivrrs
DeleteImagine some might suggest that until the outstanding loans of the past are paid out ... they're not really subsidizing anything of the sort. NCR
DeleteAnd some might suggest that it’s strange you didn’t allow them the chance to continue peddling that misinformation, you decided to spread it yourself
DeleteWell, there's always the opportunity for a presentation on the future and the past of the 'distribution' payment program at City Council. They just gave EcoTrust 20 minutes on heat pumps last Monday, surely they could spare a few for the city owned communication company to relay the direction and what the owners may expect? NCR
DeleteConsidering there will be 26 kms of digging around town for the next three years. It would be a great time for City West to join the conversation and update Rupert residents on how they plan to lay fibre to complete the local Fibre to Home project.
DeleteInternet is infrastructure too.
The fact that Rupert does not have fibre is yet another deficit our community faces.
Pretty sure the last project update provided was on this blog. What year was that?
