CityWest Fibre-Optic Expansion on Denman Island

infrastructure · February 5, 2026 · Denman Island

CityWest is expanding fibre-optic internet services to an additional 238 homes on Denman Island, aiming to cover 95% of occupied properties. Construction began last fall but was delayed by a provincial strike affecting permits. The project is expected to complete in spring 2026, with services being activated in stages.

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.
