In order to provide high-speed fibre Internet to four isolated Inuit settlements in Nunavut—including one community that speaks an official language other than English—the CRTC is taking action.
The CRTC has committed $271.9 million to the Nunavut government’s construction of a 1,300-kilometer fibre link linking the towns of Iqaluit, Kinngait, Coral Harbour, and Kimmirut through its Broadband Fund.
More financial announcements will be made in the upcoming months by the CRTC, which is still reviewing applications.
The selected project is as follows:
| Recipient and province/territory | Speeds to be offered for access projects, technology to be used for mobile projects | Estimated numbers of communities and households to potentially benefit | Communities | CRTC Broadband Fund contribution (approximate) | Decisions |
