Rural Connect

08/28/2026

Distance has always been a part of rural life. Internet access shouldn't be.

Reliable connectivity can help close the distance between rural Albertans and the people, services, opportunities, and communities they rely on every day.

Don’t let distance stand between you and better connectivity. Check your address to see what services are available in your community.

How does connectivity support healthcare?

Access to healthcare is about more than physical infrastructure. Digital tools, virtual appointments, and connected health services help bridge distances and improve access to care, particularly in rural and remote communities.

What opportunities are created in rural Alberta when remote work arrangements are utilized?

Remote and hybrid work models are creating new possibilities for where people choose to live. For many communities, this represents an opportunity to attract residents while maintaining a rural way of life.

Reliable internet helps make that flexibility possible. CONNECT is helping rural Alberta stay connected, so where you work doesn’t have to determine where you call home.

What is an open-access network?

Open-access networks are designed to encourage choice and competition. By supporting multiple service providers, communities can benefit from greater flexibility and consumer options.

CONNECT builds and maintains the network, while independent service providers deliver internet services over it. That means you can choose the provider and plan that works best for you.

No single organization can build Alberta’s digital future alone.

Expanding connectivity requires collaboration between network operators, technology providers, communities, industry leaders, and residents - all working towards a common goal.

The strongest connectivity projects aren’t built by one group. They’re built through partnerships, shared expertise, and a willingness to learn and tackle challenges together.

That’s why the Alberta Rural Connectivity Forum exists.

ARCF brings together the people behind the projects, the ideas behind the innovation, and the partnerships that help move connectivity forward across Alberta.

Meaningful progress happens when people come together.

Your connection has a bigger impact than you might think.

CONNECT is a Municipally Controlled Corporation (MCC), which means revenue generated through our network is reinvested into the infrastructure that keeps rural communities connected. Every new connection helps support future growth, improved service, and expanded access.

How often should I update my devices?

Software updates do more than add features, they often address security vulnerabilities. Keeping devices up to date is one of the easiest ways to stay protected.
