On August 10, representatives from Huawei Canada, SaskTel, and Athabasca Basin Development visited the Black Lake cell tower site and spent the day learning about the impact the cell towers have had on the community. Reports from local people have so far been very positive, and SaskTel produced an excellent video with interviews with customers in the Athabasca region about the impact these towers have had – visit our facebook page www.facebook.com/AthabascaBasin to watch the video.
In 2013, Huawei Canada and Athabasca Basin Development partnered with SaskTel to build four cell towers in the Athabasca Region; the total cost for this project was $6M and Huawei Canada provided $385,000 in funding and telecommunications equipment and Athabasca Basin Development donated $249,000. The Black Lake cell tower was the last of the four to be completed and it became operational in December 2015.
