In an announcement March 14, “Project Aurora” was unveiled as a partnership between Canadian Fiber Optics, Northern Lights Fiber and the provincial and federal governments that aims to provide high-speed fiber internet connections to residents of Saddle Hills County in northwestern Alberta.
According to the county, they will be one of the first rural municipalities in the world to bring fiber internet to an underserviced area.
The county also said that construction has already begun, and that it is planned to be a multi-year project with an estimated three-year timeline.
