The province is looking to increase access to high-speed internet.
The Ontario government has signed agreements with eight internet service providers to bring high speed internet access to over 266,000 homes and businesses in up to 339 communities.
This includes several municipalities here in Niagara.
The providers were chosen through a two-stage competitive process, as part of the province's nearly $4 billion investment to increase high speed internet access.
"This competitive process is the first of its kind in Canada and has led to an unprecedented market response and commitment to deliver high-speed internet connections to communities that have been left underserved until now," said Michael Lindsay, President and CEO of Infrastructure Ontario. "We at Infrastructure Ontario are proud to help create a connected, modern and competitive Ontario."
The province has set a goal of connecting every corner of the province to high speed internet by the end of 2025.
