Improved internet service was the focus of a meeting of regional mayors and community officials last week in East Ferris. Several municipalities were there — from Mattawa to North Bay to Powassan and more.

Officials say they united in calling for the reinstatement of the northern economic development agencies, FedNor and the Heritage Fund, in the delivery of internet funding to the north.

There’s concern applications to a new fund was oversubscribed and that Nipissing will be lost in the sea of expressions from across Canada.
