Bruce Telecom and Saugeen First Nation have announced a managed services partnership that will significantly enhance band-owned utility Driftwood Communications and its plan to bring high-speed fibre optic broadband infrastructure to 1,200 properties across Saugeen First Nation.

The partnership will entrust the management of Driftwood Communications to Bruce Telecom, a highly reputable local telecommunications company providing internet, cellular, digital TV and home phone services. Bruce Telecom has been a leading provider of connected services in the region for more than 114 years.

Both Bruce Telecom and Saugeen First Nation share a deep love of this community and a desire to create the best quality of life for all members. We look forward to a rewarding partnership and to providing first-rate services and customer care to band members,” said Stephanie Brunato, General Manager, Bruce Telecom.
