Through the Southwestern Integrated Fibre Technology initiative – or “SWIFT”, funds are available to invest in broadband infrastructure in southwestern Ontario.
Matthew Payne, Manager of Technology Services at the Municipality, says Chatham-Kent has some unique internet challenges to work on.
“In Chatham-Kent, we have some very urban and rural areas. We have quite a few different challenges – rural areas have low connectivity rates and in urban areas, although they can get high-speed internet, there are still some challenges as well”, Payne says.
