VICTORIA - Internet service providers can submit their applications for 
project funding starting today for the upcoming Connecting British 
Columbia program.

Submissions will be accepted by Northern Development Initiative Trust 
now in advance of the program’s launch later this summer.

The Connecting British Columbia program will be a new multi-year, 
provincewide program administered by Northern Development Initiative 
Trust. The program will focus on funding projects that will help expand 
and extend high-speed Internet services around the province.

To apply for funding, applicants must be legally registered entities. 
Examples include:

  * local or regional Internet service providers;
  * community high-speed Internet organizations;
  * Aboriginal organizations;
  * local governments, such as regional districts or municipalities;
  * economic development organizations; and
  * registered societies and associations.

Provincial funding for the program was granted to Northern Development 
Initiative Trust. Applications will be reviewed and funding decisions 
will be made at the discretion of Northern Development Initiative Trust, 
until the program budget is exhausted.

The Connecting British Columbia program is part of the Government of 
B.C.’s plan to make high-speed connectivity available to all British 
Columbians before 2021.

The Connecting British Columbia application form can be found on 
Northern Development Initiative Trust’s website at:
