It’s easy to assume that everyone enjoys the same privileges and opportunities we do. But that’s not the case.
When schools across Manitoba went to a remote learning model in 2020 we quickly realized many of the students in our home town didn’t have access to quality internet services. Our business had a fiber connection that gave us bandwidth to spare. We had the capacity to share the privileges and opportunities we had with our community to help level the playing field.
Over the course of 72 hours we built the infrastructure to create a WIFI park in front of our building. This isn’t a complicated idea. We had extra so we shared.
The success of this experiment in community building would lead to more experiments over the coming years.
