Cowichan Connectivity Strategy Presentation, March 22
Saturday, March 18, 2023 at 3:56PM Good afternoon, everyone,
We’re reaching out today because you have previously participated in the Cowichan Regional Internet & Cellular Connectivity Strategy project. The project aims to provide a better understanding of the state of internet and cell phone connectivity in the region, and a strategy to meet our connectivity needs long into the future. The project has also resulted in Community Connectivity Plans for 4 underserved communities: Cowichan Station, Thetis and Penelakut Islands, Ditidaht First Nation, and the Cowichan Lake Region.
CVRD staff from Economic Development Cowichan and consultants from IBI Group will be presenting the final reports from the project at the CVRD Committee of the Whole meeting on March 22 at 10:30am. The meeting agenda and reports are available to view here: https://cvrd.primegov.com/Portal/Meeting?meetingTemplateId=3705. Once you’re on the website, click on R1. Report from the Economic Development Division and the report links will appear.
