CALGARY – Shaw Communications will provide a one-month service credit to all customers in Fort McMurray and surrounding Northern Alberta communities affected by the recent wildfires that swept through the city, the company said Saturday.
The application of this credit is retroactive to May 3, the date of the mandatory evacuation, and will ensure all affected customers continue to have access to Shaw Go WiFi, FreeRange TV and their @shaw.ca email account while they are out of their homes without needing to worry about their account's status.
In addition, all residents and visitors in Northern Alberta and Edmonton have been given open access to the Shaw Go WiFi network where available to enable access to timely news and information, and to help them stay in touch with friends and loved ones, regardless of whether they are Shaw customers or not.
