Broadband Access in Rural Canada

Broadband has the power to transform Rural Canada. Connectivity is now as important as roads and bridges to the sustainability of rural and remote communities, and to the success of rural institutions and organizations. The so-called ‘broadband gap’ remains a reality throughout Rural Canada, with lower average speeds compared to urban centres, and with limited connectivity in the most remote regions.

In 2014, FCM contracted Nordicity to research and report on the state of broadband connectivity in rural and remote communities throughout Canada.
