On June 29, 2011, following a three-year negotiated request for proposals (NRFP) process, the Ministry of Labour, Citizens’ Services and Open Government posted a Notice of Intent to award a 10-year strategic telecommunications services contract worth approximately $100 million per year to TELUS. This contract will provide telecommunications and strategic services to government and its broader public sector partners, while expanding high-speed Internet connections for families and businesses in rural and remote B.C. and expanding cellular coverage along highways across the province. Please join our petition to secure affordable high speed internet and cell phone services for the rural area from Barriere Lakes Road Summit (by landfill) east to the Barriere Lakes area.
The stories you are sharing about dead zones and lost connections prove we are being left behind. Email your local representatives today to remind them that this rural community deserves the same access as the rest of the province.
August 9, 2011
The momentum behind this push is real and the ministry cannot ignore our demand for connectivity any longer. Email your representative today to remind them that rural residents deserve the same access as everyone else.

Living out here is impossible with zero service. Cant even check my emails or call for help if my truck breaks down on the road. Fix this already.
