Fibre Optic Installation on Tla'amin Nation Land - Cannery Rd
Official title: New Fibre Installation
Telus wants to install about 1 km of fibre optic cable along Cannery Rd in Powell River to connect a home in Tla'amin Nation to internet service. The cable would be buried underground or strung on poles.
Why This Matters
Live on or near Cannery Rd in Powell River? You might see construction crews drilling or trenching. This brings high-speed internet to Tla'amin Nation territory.
What Could Change
If approved, Telus can install underground or aerial fibre cables along Cannery Rd. Construction methods may include directional drilling, trenching, or using existing conduits.
Key Issues
- Should Telus be permitted to install fibre optic cable on Tla'amin Nation land?
- What installation method is appropriate - underground burial or aerial suspension?
