WiFi at Both Ends of the Ferry, Thetis and Chemainus

A group of us are adding WiFi at both ends of the ferry, Thetis and Chemainus. Some have realized they have twice or more x's the data just for the ferry lineup. 

The cost per person obviously drops with more involved.

Thank You for Attending the Thetis & Penelakut Islands Community Connectivity Conversation

Thank you for joining us for yesterday’s meeting about internet and cell connectivity on Thetis Island. We appreciate your interest and participation in this project! Your feedback will help us create a Community Connectivity Plan that makes sense for Thetis & Penelakut. 

I’ve attached the slides that were presented at the meeting. You’ll also find more resources and videos on connectivity and our project on the website at https://www.planyourcowichan.ca/connect.

If you were unable to attend the event, or if you have additional comments you’d like to provide, we’ve created a survey that mimics the discussion we had at the event, which is open until September 20: https://www.planyourcowichan.ca/connect/survey_tools/community-connectivity-survey. You’re also welcome to send your thoughts and questions to me by email.

Thank you again for your participation. We will keep you updated as the project progresses. Have a great day!

Cheers,
