I've read in The Citizen that Wells is getting high-speed internet, which is great.
However, there is a community eight minutes from Prince George that can't get cell phone service. Old Summit Lake Road is stuck in a weird vortex where cellphones are useless. There is service on the way to McBride through rough terrain and also on Highway 16 West to Vanderhoof and Highway 97 North to Bear Lake.
Could we get a cell tower out here, say at Shady Valley School or the Telus building on Goose Country Road?
It's positively primitive out here.
In the event of an accident, ambulances are minutes away but there's no way to call 911.
