When people think about internet innovation, they often picture major cities.
Montreal.
Quebec City.
Gatineau.
But some of Quebec’s strongest communities exist far beyond urban centres.
Communities like Alma, Roberval, Saint-Félicien, Normandin, Dolbeau-Mistassini, Pontiac and Val-des-Monts are home to families, entrepreneurs, students and professionals who rely on connectivity every day.
And just like people living in larger cities, they deserve internet that keeps up with modern life.
