Fibre Optic Internet Project Begins Tax Collection

infrastructure · 2023 · Denman Island

The CVRD will begin collecting an average of $33 per home per year for the next 10 years to fund the fibre optic internet project on Denman Island. Once operational, CityWest will provide internet service and share 20% of net subscription profits with island non-profits for at least 20 years. This represents a short-term tax increase for residents.
