Broadband Fund: Projects selected for funding

To date, the CRTC has selected over 60 projects to receive funding from the Broadband Fund. The selected projects have been awarded over $719 million to improve high-speed Internet and cellphone services in 270 communities. This represents over 47,000 households, over 630 kilometres of major transportation roads, and over 4,900 kilometres of fibre to communities. The maximum funding amounts awarded, as well as the number of communities, households, and the number of kilometres of 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.

Third call for applications

The third call for applications closed on June 15, 2023. The CRTC received over 100 applications from across the country, requesting almost $1.9B in funding. This call targeted transport projects, mobile wireless projects along major roads, and projects requiring operational funding to increase satellite transport capacity.

October 2024: four projects that will bring fibre Internet to 16 rural communities in Manitoba.
August 2024: four projects that will improve cellphone service along nearly one hundred kilometres of major roads in Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, and Ontario were awarded over $17 million in funding.
July 2024: a project that will bring fibre Internet to five Inuit communities in northern Quebec was awarded approximately $79.4 million in funding.
July 2024: a project that will bring fibre Internet to four Inuit communities in Nunavut was awarded approximately $271.9 million in funding.
March 2024: a project that will improve cellphone service along 70 kilometres of Highway 37 in Northern British Columbia was awarded approximately $11.9 million in funding.
December 2023: two projects serving satellite-dependent communities were awarded approximately $35 million in total funding. The first project will bring high-speed Internet service to all communities in Nunavut. The second project will provide funding to renew the satellite capacity contract in two First Nations communities in Northern Ontario.

More selected projects will be announced this year.

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.
