Province expanding high-speed internet access in Lambton

The provincial government is expanding high-speed internet access to a number of Lambton County communities.

On Thursday, the province announced that Brooke-Alvinston, Dawn-Euphemia, Lambton Shores and Warwick will benefit from the expansion.

In a media release, Labour Minister and Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP Monte McNaughton said in 2022, where you live should not determine whether or not you have access to reliable high-speed internet.

“I'm proud our government has made the largest single investment of any province in Canadian history, so more families and businesses in our rural communities will be able to stay connected, when they need to and where they need to."

The province said up to 7,840 more homes and businesses in southwestern Ontario will benefit from the expansion.

The expansion is part of the government's investment of nearly $4 billion to bring access to reliable high-speed internet across the province by the end of 2025.
