Rural South Cariboo communities to get better internet connection

Some rural Cariboo Communities will benefit from a $3.6 million investment from the Connecting British Columbia program.
The money is going towards Telus to upgrade the internet access in many Northern Communities, including Buffalo Creek, Forest Grove, Eagle Creek, and Canim Lake.
“This is great news,” says Cariboo Regional District Chair Margo Wagner, “this is something that we have been trying to get Telus to do, I’ve been elected for 10 years, and I’ve been talking to Telus for ten years.”
Wagner says the upgrades include fibre optic internet for these areas.
The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors heard a series of dire warnings May 25 about what worsening drought conditions could mean for the North Coast, from catastrophic wildfire to entire communities running out of water and massive fish kills in local rivers.
Perhaps most alarmingly, a host of officials who addressed the board warned this is no anomaly. The weather is changing, said Craig Tucker, a natural resources consultant for the Karuk Tribe, explaining that nine of California s 11 hottest years on record and three of its driest have occurred since 2011. What we re living here is not really a drought but a new normal driven by climate change.
