Fibre Internet Installation for York Landing
Official title: New Fibre Installation - York Landing
Broadband Communications North wants to bring high-speed fibre internet to every home in York Landing, a remote Manitoba community. The project involves burying about 21 km of fibre optic cable along Highway 6N and throughout the community's roads.
Why This Matters
Live in York Landing? This project could finally bring reliable high-speed internet to your home. Remote communities often struggle with slow or unreliable connections, making it hard to work from home, attend online classes, or access telehealth services.
What Could Change
If approved, every residential home in York Landing would get access to fibre internet. Construction would involve directional drilling and trenching along Highway 6N and local roads. Work could cause temporary road disruptions during installation.
Key Issues
- Should the fibre optic installation proceed along Highway 6N and York Landing roads?
- What environmental impacts might result from trenching and directional drilling?
