Net Good by CIRA: Bridging the Digital Divide for Homeowners in Remote Areas

As a homeowner living in a remote area, accessing high-quality internet services might seem like an impossible dream. However, with the launch of Net Good by CIRA, there is hope on the horizon.

Net Good by CIRA is a new program that aims to bridge the digital divide and address some of Canada’s pressing internet challenges. This program invests millions of dollars each year in initiatives that make the internet more accessible, resilient, and high performing, with a particular focus on infrastructure, online safety, and policy engagement.

The challenges of living in a remote area often include limited access to high-speed internet, making it difficult to fully participate in today’s society. This is where Net Good by CIRA comes in. By investing in solutions that make the internet more accessible, the program aims to help close the gap and give remote communities the same opportunities as their urban counterparts.

One of the key initiatives of Net Good by CIRA is its grant program, which provides funding for community-led internet projects that address internet challenges at the local level. This means that homeowners in remote areas can apply for funding to help solve skills and connectivity gaps in their communities. Grants of up to $100,000 are available, with a focus on projects that benefit rural, Northern, and Indigenous communities, as well as students from K-12 and post-secondary schools.

Since its inception, CIRA has awarded $10 million in grants to over 200 not-for-profits, Indigenous communities, registered charities, and researchers for their internet-related projects. With the launch of Net Good by CIRA, the organization is renewing its commitment to community internet projects and providing much-needed support to homeowners in remote areas.

In addition to its grant program, Net Good by CIRA also invests in solutions to help protect Canadians against cyber threats, including its flagship Canadian Shield, which helps build trust online. It also supports policies that promote a trusted internet in Canada and beyond through partnership convenings like the Canadian Internet Governance Forum.

As a homeowner living in a remote area, the launch of Net Good by CIRA offers a glimmer of hope. By investing in infrastructure, online safety, and policy engagement, the program is working towards creating a more accessible and resilient internet for all Canadians. If you are a homeowner in a remote area, you can apply for a CIRA grant by visiting cira.ca/grants and learn more about the program to see how it can benefit your community.
