BC Government Funds Fibre-to-Home Internet for Denman and Hornby Islands
infrastructure · November 2021 · Denman and Hornby Islands
The BC government has committed $5.64 million to bring fibre-to-home internet to 1350 homes on Denman and Hornby Islands through the Connecting British Columbia program. CityWest and the Comox Valley Regional District will provide the remaining funding. A referendum on the broadband connectivity service bylaw and tax funding is scheduled for November 2021.
This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
