Connecting Citizens Grant Round 2

Network BC has announced Round Two of the Connecting Citizens Grant Program; a multi-year grant initiative that helps to pay for infrastructure required to deliver high-speed Internet connectivity to citizens in rural and remote locales of British Columbia.  Under this program, Network BC will grant up to $50,000 per application to eligible applicants who can demonstrate an ability to expand Internet service to BC residents in rural and remote areas.
 
This program is an opportunity for you to work with others in your immediate region to initiate a project for last mile connectivity to homes and businesses.  We also suggest that you show your support for improved access to high-speed Internet connectivity by forwarding the information to First Nation organizations/and or individuals who may be positioned to take advantage of this program.
 
Applications must be received no later than 16:30 PST (4:30pm PST) November 23, 2009.  For further information or to apply for a grant for your locale, please refer to the Network BC website at  http://www.network.gov.bc.ca or call 250 356-6118.
