Telecom Towers and Fibre Internet for Whitefish First Nation and Kikino Metis Settlement
Official title: New (Multiple) Tower Construction & New Fibre Installation
Arrow Technology Group wants to build two 45-metre telecom towers and install 80 km of underground fibre optic cable. The goal? Bring high-speed internet to every home in Whitefish First Nation and Kikino Metis Settlement in Alberta.
Why This Matters
Live in Whitefish First Nation or Kikino Metis Settlement? This project could finally bring reliable high-speed internet to your home. That means better access to online services, remote work, and education opportunities.
What Could Change
If approved, two new telecom towers will be built and fibre optic cables will be buried along community roads. Every residential home in both communities would get access to high-speed internet. The towers may be modified in the future to add or replace antennas.
Key Issues
- Should two 45-metre telecom towers be built in these communities?
- Is the proposed underground fibre installation method appropriate for community roads?
