Call for Applications

Broadband Canada: Connecting Rural Canadians, launched the call for applications on September 1, 2009.

Closing the broadband gap between urban and rural Canada is a sound economic investment for Canada. However, Canada's geography and widely dispersed population can make it difficult to make a business case for bringing broadband connectivity to some areas of the country. The Broadband Canada Program was created to help the private sector make a sound business case for putting the infrastructure in place to bring broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved Canadians.

Service providers interested in applying for funding can find complete information in the Application Guide. The Application Forms must then be completed and submitted to the Broadband Canada office.
