The Village of Granisle has completed construction of its community-wide fibre-optic network, with Mayor Linda McGuire telling the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako board on Aug. 14 that residents and businesses are already benefiting.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are really happy with it. It\u2019s made a huge difference for us,\u201d McGuire said.\u00a0She also noted the project\u2019s economic impact, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s allowed us to compete in ways we couldn\u2019t before.\u201d<\/p>\n
The high-speed service has replaced older, limited-capacity connections and is improving internet access for homes and businesses throughout the village.<\/p>\n
“It’s really ripping along,” McGuire said.<\/p>\n
The project, funded through a combination of federal and provincial grants, was designed to support remote work, education, telehealth and online business operations, while accommodating future speed upgrades and additional services.<\/p>\n
“It’s really allowed us to compete,” McGuire told the board.<\/p>\n
RDBN directors congratulated Granisle on the achievement, saying it demonstrated how smaller communities can enhance economic development and quality of life through improved connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Village of Granisle has completed construction of its community-wide fibre-optic network, with Mayor Linda McGuire telling the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[1638,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-74192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-internet","tag-internet","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
