2025 Regional Connectivity Study Project

The PRRD has engaged a seasoned telecommunications consulting team to produce the 2025 Regional Connectivity Study, an update to last year’s “Regional Fibre-to-the-Premise and Cellular Connectivity” report. The 2025 study will review the status of ongoing and completed fibre and mobile projects, propose next steps to strengthen regional coverage, and incorporate broader community input. To build a complete picture, the team will work with PRRD staff, Electoral Area Directors, local internet and cellular providers, First Nations, industry partners, and relevant provincial and federal agencies (e.g., CRTC and the Connecting Communities initiative). The final report will deliver a clear snapshot of current connectivity levels and outline practical opportunities for future improvement across the region.
