New Projects Announced for Internet for Nova Scotia Initiative

July 5, 2022 — Halifax, NS: High-speed internet access will reach a further 273 Nova Scotia homes and businesses through a scope expansion project with Eastlink as part of the Internet for Nova Scotia Initiative.

The expansions will see wired-to-the-home/business solutions for small pockets across the province in 24 project areas. Access to these connections are expected in advance of the overall project’s target completion at the end of 2023, with work already underway in these pockets. Updated timelines will be provided on individual project pages as providing partners assess technical and make-ready requirements in detail.

We continue to look at possible solutions for remaining underserved areas to reach as close to 100% connected Nova Scotia homes and businesses as possible.

For a full list of these pocket project areas and for more information, read the full June 2022 Update here.
