Happy Valley-Goose Bay, NL – Lynx Mobility has signed an agreement with the community leaders in the Mushuau Innu Band Council to provide cellular service to Natuashish by the end of this year.
Natuashish is a new Innu community of 750 people, settled in 2002 adjacent to Sango Mountain in Newfoundland and Labrador. The community is predominantly inhabited by the Mushuau Innu First Nation.
Using Lynx Mobility’s partnership model, the cellular service will be locally owned, branded and administered by the community of Natuashish. Work is scheduled to commence over the next few months with service expected to go live by the Fall.
“We are excited to be working with the Mushuau Innu First Nation in bringing cellular services to the community of Natuashish” said Lynx president and CEO Benoit Fleury, in the announcement. “This important collaboration will not only provide mobile connectivity for the people of Natuashish but it will also create employment, attract valuable skills and generate revenues for the community.”
Subscribers will have access to local and long distance voice calls, text messaging, and a range of handsets.
