The P.E.I. government is opening what it is calling work and study hubs across the province to provide a workspace and reliable internet access to people who need it.
Economic Growth Minister Matthew MacKay said the plan is a response to the increased need for Islanders to work and study online during the pandemic. Islanders need access to a reliable internet connection now more than ever before, said MacKay in a news release. Our hope with the work and study hubs is that we can help fill the gap as we continue working towards expanding broadband internet across the province.
