Northwestel Statement on CRTC Broadband Fund Decisions

August 12, 2020

“Today’s CRTC Broadband Fund announcement is great news for Northern Canadians. The CRTC’s $62.46 million in funding along with Northwestel’s continued significant investments will increase Internet speeds for over 10,000 households in Yukon and NWT with DSL and satellite service and provide an option for unlimited service.

We thank the CRTC for this important contribution and for entrusting Northwestel to deliver on this mandate. We also want to recognize and thank the Yukon Government, the Government of NWT, the Indigenous governments and community partners who supported these applications.”
- Curtis Shaw,
Northwestel President
