First Mile Policies
The First Nations Innovation research project has developed several policies that embody First Mile approaches.
The First Nations Broadband Infrastructure and Operations Policy outlines a community-based broadband infrastructure and operations policy for nation-to-nation discussions, negotiations and cooperation between First Nations and government stakeholders. You can access it here: First Nations Innovation Broadband Policy
The First Nations Data Governance Policy outlines a community-based data governance policy for discussions, negotiations and cooperation between First Nations and stakeholders such as governments and universities. You can access it here: First Nations Data Governance Policy
The First Nations Innovation Publication Policy is a protocol for how the FNI research project approaches publications resulting from our research partnership. You can access it here: First Nations Innovation Publications Policy
The First Mile Connectivity Consortium (FMCC) is guided by policies that define both how the organization operates and the principles that shape its work. The by-laws set out FMCC’s governance structure, including membership, decision-making, and organizational responsibilities. The Statement of Principles outlines a shared commitment to community-driven, equitable, and locally controlled telecommunications in Indigenous, rural, and remote communities. Together, these documents provide the foundation for FMCC’s activities and collective voice.
