The Sayward Library is hosting a Connected Coast Information Open House later this month.

It will take place on Tuesday, June 20th, from 4pm to 6pm, when residents will learn more about the project, with fibre-to-the-home construction in the area beginning next month.

Project members from the Strathcona Regional District & CityWest will be on-site to answer any questions people may have.

The Connected Coast project is bringing high-speed internet to approximately 139 rural and
remote communities, including 48 First Nations communities along the coast from north of Prince Rupert to Haida Gwaii, south to Vancouver and to Vancouver Island.

There is an interactive map where users can follow along and see the current build status on specific locations, search the status of specific landing sites and zoom in for more details.

You can find the map at Connected Coast.

Keeping Our Word

 

The word "éy7á7juuthem" means “Language of our People” and is the ancestral tongue of the Homalco, Tla’amin, Klahoose and K’ómoks First Nations, with dialectic differences in each community.

It is pronounced "eye-ya-jooth-hem."
