Broadband Fund: Projects selected for funding

Under the second call for applications, the CRTC received almost 600 applications from across the country, requesting over $1.5B in funding.

To date, as per the published funding award decisions, the Broadband Fund has committed up to $226.5 million to improve fixed and mobile wireless broadband Internet access service for 205 communities. This represents approximately 32,655 households and nearly 560 kilometres (km) of major transportation roads. The maximum funding amounts awarded, as well as the communities, households, and roads served, may vary. For the exact details, please refer to the provincial/territorial distribution in the tables below, which are updated on a quarterly basis.

First call for applications

The first five selected Broadband Fund projects were awarded up to $72.1 million in funding to bring high-quality broadband Internet services to some of the most remote areas in Canada.

Second call for applications

Under the second call for applications, the Broadband Fund has awarded a total of up to approximately $154.4 million in funding for 44 transport, access, and mobile wireless projects.

Transport services provide the network that enables Internet access and mobile wireless services to be provided
Access services connect households to broadband infrastructure
Mobile wireless services provide an Internet connection without the use of phone or cable lines

The funded projects target a total of 154 communities in nine provinces.

In August 2022, nine mobile wireless projects (including one combination mobile/access/transport project) and one access project were awarded up to nearly $20.5 million in funding. These projects will potentially benefit approximately 425 km of major transportation roads and 2,250 households in or near 35 communities in Manitoba, Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
In March 2022, six access projects and one mobile project were awarded up to nearly $19.5 million in funding. These projects will potentially benefit 1,255 households in 10 communities in British Columbia and Alberta.
In December 2021, five access projects were awarded up to $9.5 million in funding. These projects will potentially benefit 925 households in eight communities in British Columbia, Alberta and Nova Scotia.
In August 2021, 10 access-only projects and combination access/mobile projects were awarded up to nearly $20.5 million in funding. These projects will introduce or improve broadband Internet access services and, in some cases, mobile wireless services, in underserved areas in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Up to 3,625 households in 45 communities will have access to improved or new connections to the broadband network.

In March 2021, seven projects were awarded up to $57.7 million in funding. These fibre transport projects will increase broadband connectivity in underserved areas in northern Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. Approximately 1,400 km of fibre network cable will be installed and, as a result, 15 communities, representing almost 6,500 households, will benefit from improved connections to the broadband network.
In February 2021, five fibre transport projects were awarded up to $26.7 million in funding. When completed, they will increase broadband connectivity in underserved areas in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. Over 550 km of fibre network cable will be installed and, as a result, 41 communities, representing more than 8,000 households, will benefit from improved connections to the broadband network.

Footnotes

Footnote 1

Household counts are calculated by the CRTC based on proposed coverage information and Pseudo-Household Demographic Distribution data, which uses statistical models and census data to predict where households are located within eligible areas. The CRTC will rely on the most current verified data available at the time. These data may constitute publicly available information announced by companies or governments, or information that the CRTC has collected in confidence. Some households in an eligible area may not receive improved services as a result of the project. For transport projects, household numbers reflect the total number of households in eligible communities; not all households will necessarily receive service as a result of these projects.

Footnote 2

The Broadband Fund is comprised of two components. Under the main component, the CRTC will consider projects to build or upgrade access and/or transport infrastructure for fixed and mobile wireless broadband Internet access services in all areas except in satellite-dependent communities. Under the satellite component (as defined in Appendix 1 of 2019-191), the CRTC will consider infrastructure projects and projects to increase satellite transport capacity in satellite-dependent communities.
