CRTC Broadband Fund: Project selected in March 2024
The CRTC is taking action to improve cellphone service along 70 kilometres of highway in northern British Columbia.
Through its Broadband Fund, the CRTC is providing funding to Rogers Communications to build new cell towers along Highway 37, which will help improve access to emergency services. This project will also have a positive impact on nearby communities-many of which are Indigenous-who will benefit from improved cellphone services in the area.
The CRTC is continuing to assess applications and will make more funding announcements in the coming months.
