The federal government says through the CRTC’s Broadband Fund, 27 communities in Saskatchewan, including two indigenous communities, will be connected to high-speed internet.

The CRTC is committing over $15 million to Saskatchewan Telecommunications and Access Communications Co-operative Limited to build approximately 455 kilometres of new transport fibre infrastructure.

Many of the impacted communities provided letters of support emphasizing the benefits of these projects, including improved access to remote work and learning, and enhanced economic opportunities.

Some of the communities which will benefit include the Village of Dodsland, Muscowpetung First Nation and Thunderchild First Naton.

The projects announced today are the final projects to receive funding through the CRTC’s most recent selection process. The next round of funding applications will open in 2026.
