Two communities in the Kenora riding will soon see high-speed Internet upgrades.
Madsen in the Red Lake area and Shoal Lake #39 are part of the $4-million enhancement.
FedNor Minister Navdeep Bains says the money will be allocated to Bell Canada, who will build a new fibre-optic “backbone” in six northwestern Ontario communities.
Kenora MP Bob Nault is applauding the move, stresses in order to keep up in today’s world, businesses need to have fast and reliable Internet connections.
Nault believes the investment will help entice new businesses to northwestern Ontario and provide residents with a higher quality of life.
