Digital divide
Major urban centres like Montreal are not immune to internet inequality. It isn’t the lack of a high speed network that creates the divide, it’s poverty. In today’s world, not having decent access to the Web contributes to the social exclusion and is one of the reasons why children fall behind in school and may drop out.

With this in mind, Fondation La Clé will invest in a major project to mitigate inequalities due to the digital divide for students living in OMHM housing by funding the installation of a high-speed Internet network dedicated to families with school-aged children.
