The Connected Coast project is a joint initiative between the Strathcona Regional District (SRD) and CityWest to expand high-speed fibre-optic Internet access to 139 rural, remote, and First Nation coastal communities across British Columbia from north of Prince Rupert to Haida Gwaii, south to Vancouver, and around Vancouver Island.

The project represents an estimated $45.4 million investment and will deliver 159 landing sites along the coast. Of this, $32.5 million will be administered by the SRD and $12.9 million by CityWest to construct the required infrastructure.

Funding is provided by the Government of Canada’s Connect to Innovate (CTI) program, Indigenous Services Canada, and the Province of British Columbia through the Connecting British Columbia program, administered by Northern Development Initiative Trust.
