The CRD has developed a two-phase community based connectivity plan for the Southern Gulf Islands (SGI) Electoral Area (Galiano, Mayne, Pender and Saturna Islands) to document how greater connectivity can advance each island's common goals of sustainable economic development, community health, and resilience.
The Phase 1 report, Connecting SGI: Connectivity Planning for the Southern Gulf Islands, was completed in 2020.
The Phase 2 report, the Southern Gulf Islands Regional Broadband Strategy, was completed in April, 2021 by TANEx Engineering after in depth stakeholder consultation, gap analysis, and infrastructure inventory.
Together, these reports create a connectivity infrastructure design strategy for the Southern Gulf Islands Electoral Area.
