Fibre Internet Installation for Alderville First Nation Reserve
Official title: New Fibre Installation - Northumberland
Northumberland County wants to bring high-speed fibre internet to all homes on the Alderville First Nation Reserve. The project involves installing about 16km of underground and aerial fibre optic cable along Highway 45, Highway 18, and connecting roads.
Why This Matters
Live on the Alderville First Nation Reserve? This project could bring reliable high-speed internet to your home. Better connectivity means easier access to online services, remote work, and education opportunities.
What Could Change
If approved, fibre optic cables will be installed along Highway 45, Highway 18, and local roads using directional drilling, trenching, or existing conduits. Homes and businesses in the reserve will get fibre internet connections.
Key Issues
- Should the fibre optic installation proceed along the proposed route?
- What are the potential impacts of construction on the local area?
