About Boreal Telecom
Building the digital infrastructure that Northern Ontario deserves
Our Story
Boreal Telecom was founded with a clear mission: to bridge the digital divide in Northern Ontario. As an Indigenous-owned company in partnership with Sucura Networks Inc., we bring innovative thinking and modern approaches to telecommunications, paired with an unwavering commitment to the communities we serve.
We recognized that Northern Ontario's connectivity challenges required a two-pronged approach. First, immediate relief through local wireless broadband services. Second, long-term infrastructure development through a carrier-neutral fiber backbone that would benefit all providers and communities.
Operating independently from any single carrier, we're uniquely positioned to serve as a neutral infrastructure provider, fostering competition and innovation while ensuring no community is left behind.
