Grant Funds Faster Speeds

Look forward to faster uploads and downloads this year at Coquitlam’s free Wi-Fi hotspots, thanks to a federal grant. We received $100,000 from the Canada Community-Building Fund (CCBF) to upgrade equipment and other infrastructure this year. The grant will pay for network upgrades that will at least double the current speeds available for the City’s network of 33 free Wi-Fi hotspots.

Free Wi-Fi locations can be found in the CoquitlamConnect app and on a map at the link below.
