CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS The Connected Coast has made tremendous progress this summer as the teams works toward project completion in early 2025. Significant amounts of cable have been deployed along the west coast of Vancouver Island and B.C.’s coast. Most of the Northern network, along with a sizeable area in southern B.C., have broadband services available for communities. Moving forward, crews on the water will continue to deploy cable, while network activation activities commence at newly built landing sites. Services will become available at these landing sites over the coming months. The project’s full completion and activation is on track for March 2025. The permitting requirements for this project have been extensive. As of October 2024, approximately 96% of the necessary permits have been secured. Achieving this milestone required significant collaboration with various levels of government, First Nations, and property owners to obtain permits for all 137 landing sites. Key achievements include: 161 access approvals needed to construct the 137 landings. 21 of 23 License of Occupation tenures from the Province. 482 total permits/approvals/tenures to date!
