North Bay City Council is supportive of Blue Sky Net’s efforts to improve internet access in the region.

A city representative will be appointed to a steering committee and the idea is to support efforts including analyzing the current situation and convincing senior levels of government to provide increased funding so people in outlying areas can receive improved internet access.

North Bay City Councillor Mike Anthony who authored the motion says this is now a necessity in today’s world.

“In today’s day and age when we’re talking about growth and investment or attracting new residents having connectivity for a community is as important as clean drinking water or physical infrastructure like roads,” he says.

Anthony says internet access in North Bay is pretty good but some of the outlying areas need additional support.
