Program Details
 
 
  The Final Mile Rural Community Program is no longer accepting application forms. Applicants were required to complete and submit a program application form on or before March 31, 2012. We will continue to accept documentation from declared applicants asked to submit full proposals for review against the program requirements and criteria. The final date for receipt of proposal documents is December 31, 2012.

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.
