The federal government is partnering with FlexNetworks to provide 21 communities between Regina and Saskatoon with access to high-speed internet.

The Canadian government has invested into a $500 million program, Connect to Innovate, which will provide higher-speed internet to 30 rural and remote communities and up to 163 institutions in Saskatchewan.

Manitoba communities up north will soon have access to better internet services. The province announced Tuesday it will chip in $20 million in support of $63 million project.
