In another internet-related announcement Wednesday, the Federal Government said that they are giving the Kenora District Services Board almost $5 million. Henry Wall is the Chief Administrative Officer and says the money will be used to connect over 4,200 homes in the area with high-speed internet. “This is going to happen very fast,” says Wall, “the time frames are tight, but we’ve been preparing a long time for this. This is such a great opportunity and such a monumental event for our region, for the district of Kenora, and the work is underway. KDSB chair Barry Baltesson says it’s a welcome announcement.
