Telus Proposal for Fiber-Optic Internet Network on Denman and Hornby

infrastructure · Denman and Hornby Islands

Telus has proposed to build a high-speed fiber-optic network providing 'last mile' internet service to every house and business on Denman and Hornby Islands. The project would be partially funded by Telus and seek additional government funding. The network would connect to Telus's existing fiber-optic trunk system.

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.
