Regional Connectivity Strategy
The Regional Connectivity Strategy will identify options for the PRRD to ensure that high-speed Broadband Internet services are accessible throughout the entire district, and outline how broadband infrastructure can be built to meet the demand for residents now and into the future.
Help us get to the next step by taking the CIRA Internet Speed Test.

Learn more about the CIRA Internet Speed Test
The PRRD is asking all residents to take part in the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) speed test to ensure the correct data for Internet speed is being recorded. The more responses received from different locations across the region, the more accurate the broadband Internet speed data will be. The test can be taken multiple times in multiple locations, as internet speed may vary.
This data is important because it is used to determine eligibility for connectivity funding programs to improve service. Many BC communities, including those in the Peace River Regional District, have raised concerns that the federal data on broadband Internet speeds may not accurately reflect the speeds experienced in homes, businesses, and other locations.
