After consulting with key government and community stakeholders, the expansion will include new speed options to support evolving connectivity needs of Canadians. Rogers newly expanded program supports the federal government\u2019s plan to provide faster Internet speeds to all Canadians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how much we all rely on digital connections now. It has reinforced the importance of access to affordable high-speed Internet as, now more than ever, Canadians are working, learning and communicating with friends and family from home,\u201d said The Honourable Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. \u201cIt is a priority for our Government to ensure that all Canadians get connected, and we are counting on our partners in the private sector to help us achieve that goal. I congratulate Rogers on expanding its Connected for Success program, now helping even more Canadians with their connectivity needs, and further bridging the digital divide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eligible customers can apply through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=UZbLV8hcSdcAbHDbjRG6ExPLVQcxI7iDj5sMnZxHuAIQRzC5vykHSS54R1U2MUhd2KD9xChECshS0uOiubG0qNEyKP5qp3LaRTdwgAbbLRxFHhgRBz1nQxgX5ow8wir46y-LRkHzQbd8aWm5tld_tA==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Connected for Success <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=Kx991su_EgMY7CASL87-XJBdOzAwXsRNfnzcxxUpued9ahxAiHu_o69KqzRsLt2Qxl4w2VHcOHyfpb4NxQB6IBRFiXGg75B5hbjHlasHWpre7PcYmfoBNBUp07JVZ9pX\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a> and they must provide verification that they are receiving government financial assistance under one of the five qualifying programs. A Rogers customer experience specialist will then contact every qualified customer to do a needs assessment to determine which speed best meets their household\u2019s needs, noting the program provides free installation and modem rental, unlimited data and no credit checks.\u00a0 This personalized experience will ensure the unique needs of every customer are met, including online schooling, accessing online social supports and job searches, attending virtual medical appointments, and combatting social isolation by staying connected to loved ones virtually.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that COVID-19 is having a disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations and those living in poverty in Canada \u2013 with a growing digital divide in who can access much needed supports,\u201d says Daniele Zanotti, President &amp; CEO, United Way Greater Toronto. \u00a0\u201cFor an isolated senior trying to book their vaccine, a mom reaching out for crisis counselling or a furloughed worker trying to re-enter the workforce, digital access is no longer a luxury \u2013 it\u2019s a necessity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Women fleeing violence will greatly benefit from this program with Rogers, particularly in rural areas,\u201d said Kaitlin Geiger-Bardswich, Communications and Development Manager, Women\u2019s Shelters Canada. \u201cWe know that domestic violence comes in many forms &#8211; including financial and technological abuse. Safe, affordable connectivity is essential for women and children to access services, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This program will enable countless women to receive the counselling and safety planning they need, stay in touch with loved ones, apply for jobs, and attend on-line schooling, all of which helps them &#8211; and their children &#8211; to live lives free from violence.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven prior to the pandemic Rogers was at the forefront of ensuring that Ontarians who live in non-profit housing had affordable access to Internet and we are pleased to be partnering with them on the launch of this initiative to ensure no one is left behind as connectivity needs become more complex for families,\u201d said Andrew McKenzie, Director of Operations, Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association. \u201cThis along with Rogers ongoing commitment to expanding their services to remote and rural communities in the province are continued steps in the right direction for our tenants. I\u2019m personally excited about the positive impact this will have for kids who made the transition to online learning; knowing that they will be able to do so with reliable service from the comfort of their home, which for some, has not been the case during the pandemic. This is an important program for our providers and the tenants they serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Supporting Ontarians through the Connected for Success expansion, also announced today in New Brunswick and Newfoundland, is just one of the ways Rogers is committed to bridging the digital divide to meet critical connectivity needs for Canadians.\u00a0 Throughout the pandemic, Rogers provided thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=RlhzeHZeD9UhIuGrRgtAftKpW_ieuwicoqAq_UX8yLqyQBSCSYvfK1UdEUco0HQb0-LT9muKzchyx9ekMF1FboZo-z3RQMK0dohtzAZjaeYTTkEUp7m5TX0jyAARuOKe74gEEwNCML27lzKGXdGoD6ISeY9BeYUlxj0sMuMKhmQIBjC-b87TKH5WGSjCSm78rS5bTHPrxTIfYk9LXUc06Gt9cfMjtHYYItQ5HMb-YO-vC_v2GJ-rXFCOl6pM_9G5LD8793g6-qGus8ICub4dSw==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">devices and plans<\/a> as digital lifelines to women\u2019s shelters, and to youth organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters Canada to keep youth connected to mentors, in addition to providing annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=B_McNsRXD0jbsSvm-xE1hSmm2YlL1XyL53r7WA4VycbsgllAxyi5imtK3HdNYESUo1plIWytKY2nebUJ9EcSxZ_c86xuYIRLLHp0UHBx9OLu44V_jERJMVAxB6D9X6_vTXSIOFuir-Ocd4E6epzrx01CiEkLxLxzORMdZj8u3fPHwTKjPecLHPL7TeFl2txwf0vLX-YGvb9jZFgIcCqwWzfk3hzEMKlHq9eMutBdNOKKuGq-7eQIEu2fkeJmn3VZ2MT8CD2S8E1M2X8oZkDL3aBTV15bGzpGWBFo0BJ-V_4=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ted Rogers Community Grants<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=B_McNsRXD0jbsSvm-xE1hc6iCCQVGv5E3DbatubtY68tlkK30yBbfJtSgV4d6dazUOZSS0sBlMY9KVmoljNHrQmigUDyf-TbJEQTD9hN457howsliwjKmwX6tlC1eQdWJOPZvUM1E6cnkx8TaLXnIWE8yxr2iv3zp7NY3FGQQiBCriPQUIU7X2w31yumhFxr6qApvhvtBFz9pQfdJTznHTryYi_8ZgpO6ZMxyL1mPbg=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ted Rogers Scholarships<\/a> to support the next generation.\u00a0 In partnership with the Jays Care Foundation and Food Banks Canada, the company also provided 9 million meals through donations and food hampers for food banks across the country as part of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=perCi2ZS8nbfS5dbQiFPsHBIoSCaIu77z8WbClHWdh7qrIYrLWnZCtj6faWjfzkXO9gZRbEKtp0qg1xFDNcTIFdocE-iXNeglcsGJdhoLtJdVYZo49VUcANfAGr718LOqtMe9RaCbw2rn_gFyhD1_RajqashOg4_OYpqMnXuz4VYPgJ0rbWhsiYbnRnTxwRBUnmhLGdYue4iZKDUgXtozEufwdbfshzV82KVhzwG4jQe9C1BhJgD4vsCFqCYPcMIE3t3zQgJbzUA4OaZ7dDKsw==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Step Up to the Plate<\/a>.
