Cellular Phone Coverage
WHEREAS not all areas in Northwestern Ontario have cellular phone coverage; and
WHEREAS cellular phone coverage is now a universally, must-have technology that business, government, and emergency workers, in particular, need to operate efficiently; and,
WHEREAS tourists visiting these areas find it an inconvenience not to have service and are known to avoid some areas because of lack of service.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association call on the Federal and Provincial Government to provide funding to ensure that all areas in Northwestern Ontario have cellular phone coverage.
