SASKATOON – Complimentary Shaw Go WiFi is now available at 10 city-owned facilities. The City of Saskatoon announced the collaborative effort to create multiple channels for residents to access the information they need.
The service, made possible through a partnership with Shaw Communications Inc., is an initiative that came online Wednesday.
“Providing these services in collaboration with a great partner like the City of Saskatoon furthers our ability to deliver an enhanced connectivity experience to Canadians,” said Greg Pultz, Shaw’s vice-president of operations.
“The new WiFi services at key sites across Saskatoon will provide a cost-effective opportunity for people to stay more closely connected to their friends, family, and work colleagues while on-the-go.”
