As part of the Cowichan Internet & Cellular Connectivity Strategy project, Economic Development Cowichan is hosting a series of events in our most underserved communities. We would love to see some of you there and hope you will share these events with your networks!
This series of in-person events is being held from September 13 to 17, one in each of the priority communities. Residents, business leaders, and other impacted parties are invited to attend. Participants will explore ways that connectivity can enhance their community and discuss barriers that need to be overcome to achieve their digital aspirations. Feedback will help the project team understand the community’s desired digital future and how it might be achieved.
Thetis & Penelakut Islands

We’re excited to discover how connectivity and technology can protect and augment what people love about these communities. One community might be interested in using agricultural technology to improve the livelihoods of farmers, while another may want to enable home-based businesses to reach customers around the world. Tourism, emergency response, remote healthcare and education are some other topics that might come up.
