September 11 @ 10:00 am - 10:30 am
- This event has passed.
Retaining sovereignty while tackling the digital divide remains challenging for Indigenous communities across Canada. Education, workforce development, funding, and community participation all require unique skillsets to get a Nation’s buy-in. Finding the resources and the people to help make these dreams a reality can pose a significant hurdle in connecting these communities to high-speed broadband.
The Indigenous Connectivity Institute is leading the charge to help these communities get the education and resources to build their own internet networks. Join Gary Bolton as he sits down with Mark Buell and Frank Horn to discuss the unique challenges and solutions to help spur internet connectivity across Indigenous lands.
Special Guests:
- Mark Buell, Director of Indigenous Programs, The Indigenous Connectivity Institute
- Frank Horn, Director – Workforce Development, The Indigenous Connectivity Institute
