The Proposed Project

New Fibre Installation

MCSnet plans to install underground fiber optic cabling, for Internet purposes, passing through Saddle Lake Indian Reserve No. 125. This part of the project involves the installation of approximately 6.5 km of underground fiber optic cable in a direct path from latitude 53.962211, longitude -111.539674 to latitude 53.903885, longitude -111.539711.

The cable will be buried by directional drilling, trenching, using existing conduits, or a combination of these methods in existing roadway alignments.
