The Final Mile Rural Community Program consists of a $5 million initiative to fund projects that enable high-speed Internet access to unserviced locations in rural Alberta. This funding program is part of the Government of Alberta’s Final Mile Rural Connectivity Initiative to extend high-speed Internet connectivity to the vast majority of Albertans.

The program will consider projects that deliver high-speed Internet connectivity to unserviced locations in rural communities in Alberta. Unserviced locations are areas that include Alberta households that do not have access to high-speed Internet service at a minimum speed of 1.5 Mbps download.

Applicants are required to complete and submit a program application form on or before March 31, 2012.

Before submitting a full proposal, or for additional information on the Final Mile Rural Community Program, please contact our office at rural@gov.ab.ca or by calling us at 780-427-2409.
