Listen "Making high speed internet more accessible"
Episode Synopsis
Some people in some communities were left behind at the start of the pandemic. It was a big issue when schools and workplaces shifted to being on-line and virtual. Not everyone had access to high-speed internet or devices to be able to connect. And that was a problem Matt Spurway wanted to help solve. He and a team of volunteers started making connections with community agencies to collect money and equipment to make a difference. That has now evolved into the not-for-profit agency known as Get Everyone Online or GEO Nova Scotia. And as executive director, Spurway says individually, it would be tough to solve the access issue. But they are growing and finding more partners and funding to help make a difference through the "stone soup" principle.
