B.C. funds high-speed internet for 7 additional communities

The seventh intake of the Connecting Communities B.C. funding program is open for applications until Feb. 26, 2026.

Three years after their initial appointment, the Province has reappointed 10 members to the anti-racism data committee.

People will be at the centre of better service delivery as the Province establishes Connected Services BC, a more connected technology systems model that works better for people and businesses interacting with government.    

Accessing high-speed internet for people in approximately 750 households will soon become a reality as more rural Vancouver Island and Gulf Island communities are connected.

People in the west Vancouver Island communities of Toquaht Nation and Salmon Beach will soon be getting better access to high-speed internet.

Key findings from three research priorities identified by B.C.’s Anti-Racism Data Committee reveal the need for greater equity and diversity within the BC Public Service, some progress has been made in representation to appointments on B.C.’s agencies, boards and commissions, and pay differences between racialized and white workers in B.C.’s private and public sectors.
