SaskTel announced Monday it will extend until the end of June the supports it is offering to all customers living in northern Saskatchewan communities evacuated due to the wildfires in the province.
“The Government of Saskatchewan is increasing the timeframe that SaskTel’s supports will be available to those evacuated from their homes due to the wildfires in northern Saskatchewan,” said Jeremy Harrison, minister responsible for Crown corporation SaskTel, in a press release. “This measure, combined with the supplementary financial assistance announced by our government recently, will provide support to families during these evacuations and upon their return home.”
Announced earlier this month, SaskTel’s supports include the waiving of wireless data overage charges for customers evacuated because of the wildfires, an offer that was due to expire June 16. Those data overage charges will now be waived by SaskTel from May 31 to June 30.
In addition, SaskTel is crediting customers for their SaskTel Internet, maxTV Stream, and home phone services during their evacuation.
