About Us
Clear Sky Connections (CSC)
Since 2009, the Manitoba First Nations Technology Council has worked on building the Manitoba First Nations Network of the Future Initiative to bring high speed internet to all Manitoba First Nation communities.
The work at Clear Sky Connections has evolved to create a for profit arm, in partnership with various stakeholders. These partnerships enable Manitoba’s First Nations to fully realize the dream of owning and operating a high-speed fibre optic network.
In 2015, the Federal Government announced a $300M fund for broadband connectivity, the program Connect to Innovate, opened up the Call for Proposals in December 2016 and closed April 2017. Clear Sky Connections submitted an application for the funding.
This funding will now support the completion of a fiber optic network of over 3500 kms for Manitoba First Nations and surrounding communities.
With the strategic partnerships currently planned, greater value will be achieved for ensuring affordable, accessible and adequate connectivity.
