Presentation: Working with Municipal Councils: Teaching the Importance of Community Broadband

This resource will be helpful for municipal and local governments interested in community broadband.

Developed by Craig Dobson and Jennifer Massig from Taylor-Warwick Consulting, this presentation is from the Nov 2017 Digital Futures conference in Westlock, AB. It addresses several questions and points of interest for local governments interested in community broadband :

  • How do we build resilient communities in an ever-changing world?
  • Can we take the most important priorities of our community and adequately communicate them to our major stakeholders? How do we get buy-in?
  • Alberta is built on entrepreneurship and support of a competitive market. How do we maintain this cultural while meeting our residents basic needs?
  • The “first one through the wall” issue: How do we embrace failure?
