By September 2022, homes in five municipalities in Beauharnois-Salaberry and another 11 in Haut-Saint-Laurent will be connected to Videotron’s high-speed internet services.
These municipalities are part of many other cities in Monterey where 5,460 families are affected by this initiative. The Canada-Quebec High Speed Operation is supported by an investment of $31.66 million.
