Good afternoon ... I am looking forward to seeing how we all can work together to connect all of Northern Ontario into this project ... challenge! From our letter of support in the initial submission, I wrote the following: As a partner in this project directly involved in the ongoing development of resilient First Nations, Keewaytinook Okimakanak K-Net is willing and able to provide our support for the project’s development work in researching and sharing these important resources with others. This letter of support for the project confirms our contributions (as detailed in the proposal) to the overall successful implementation and operation of the project. Keewaytinook Okimakanak believes that this proposal is compelling for our work as it provides the opportunity to identify the social and economic impacts of broadband connections in remote First Nations for innovation and to provide broader dissemination of the processes used by KO-KNET team, so that other remote communities can begin accessing equitable and affordable infrastructure and First Nation capacity.
