Connectivity Guidebook for the County of Brant

In an increasingly connected world, access to reliable high-speed internet is necessary. Being connected helps us stay in touch with our communities, access public services, create jobs and enhance economic growth and business development. Technology has progressed so quickly that it can be difficult to pinpoint what can be done to fully harness the power of connectivity.

The Connectivity Guidebook was put together by a Joint Committee consisting of County of Brant Council and the Paris and District Chamber of Commerce. This Joint Committee also includes County of Brant staff and the County of Brant Public Library. The guide starts with the basics, from what the internet is and how to get connected, to some of the more innovative technologies that connectivity can bring. Being launched in conjunction with the guidebook is an internet availability tool. County of Brant residents are now able to look up available internet options for their property and see planned future infrastructure.

“We know that even with an internet connection, keeping up with technology and all it offers can be difficult,” said Susan Morton, Executive Director at the Paris and District Chamber of Commerce. “This guide acts as a common starting place”.
