Grant Overview

Alberta's digital divide is a significant barrier to economic participation, particularly for underserved populations. With 15% of the province's residents lacking access to high-speed internet, community technology hubs are essential for bridging this gap. Funding is available to establish these hubs, which provide free internet access and digital skills training. Eligible organizations include non-profit organizations, community groups, and educational institutions. Alberta's unique cultural context, with a significant Indigenous population, requires tailored solutions that address the province's diverse needs. Unlike neighboring British Columbia, Alberta's funding prioritizes programs that serve rural and remote communities. Who Should Apply in Alberta? Organizations that demonstrate an understanding of the province's digital divide and can develop targeted solutions will be well-positioned for funding. Applications will be evaluated based on their potential to address Alberta's digital infrastructure gaps, particularly in rural areas. Alberta's tech economy is thriving, with major industries like software development and data analytics driving growth. The province's workforce composition is characterized by a high percentage of workers in the tech sector, with 10% of the province's workforce employed in tech-related occupations. Alberta's infrastructure includes a network of community centers and public libraries, which can be leveraged to support community technology hubs. The province's demographic profile is marked by a diverse population, with significant cultural and linguistic diversity. Alberta's rural-urban split is also notable, with 40% of the province's population residing in rural areas.
