High-Speed Internet for Woodland Cree First Nation - 303 Homes
Official title: UBF02669 / CU980 Highspeed Broadband Fiber Optic Network Installation at Woodland Cree First Nation
Mighty Peace Wireless wants to build a fiber optic internet network for Woodland Cree First Nation in Alberta. The project would connect 303 homes across 75 kilometers of roads near Cadotte Lake, Simon Lake, and Marten Lake. It uses fiber-to-the-home technology to deliver high-speed broadband to a community that currently lacks reliable internet access.
Why This Matters
Live in Woodland Cree First Nation? This project could finally bring reliable high-speed internet to your home. That means better access to online education, telehealth, and remote work opportunities. For 303 households, this addresses a critical connectivity gap.
What Could Change
If approved, 303 homes in Woodland Cree First Nation would get fiber-to-the-home internet connections. A new network hub would be built at the community office, with backbone infrastructure extending to Cadotte Lake, Simon Lake, and Marten Lake areas.
Key Issues
- Should the fiber optic network be approved for construction on Woodland Cree First Nation reserve lands?
- Are there environmental or community concerns with the 75 km network deployment?
