Shuswap Region Broadband Infrastructure Project (SRBI Project)

This project will develop a comprehensive technical and financial planning package to support the deployment of a community-owned fiber broadband network in the Shuswap region. It will include network designs, cost-benefit analyses, and implementation schedules to connect 1,702 underserved households across 16 rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. The initiative will lay the groundwork for affordable, high-speed internet access and long-term digital inclusion through a locally governed co-op model.
