Reduced rates for ODSP, OAS receipients

[rural-lady]

Just wondering if Bell is going to match Rogers new subsidized internet program for $9.99

"$9.99/month internet is now available through Rogers to individuals on ODSP (Ontario disability support program), OW (Ontario works), or GIS (Guaranteed income supplement).

Hello!

Bell participates in the government of Canada’s Connecting Families initiative, and the government has announced that the program will be expanded next year. We don’t have plans to roll out additional programs at this time.

Thank you for your question. The most recent information on the Connected Families Initiative, which is a year old, can be found here. Bell is a partner in the program, but you will need a Letter of Invitation from the Government of Canada, with an activation code, to qualify. Bell does not issue those letters and they can not be requested from the government.

Good Day & Welcome

The Connecting Families Initiative (CFI) is a Government of Canada program. Bell is just one of many Internet Service Providers that voluntarily participates in the Connecting Families Initiative, offering discounted Internet to eligible seniors and families.

In order to participate in the Connecting Families initiative, you need to have received a letter from the Government of Canada. If you don't currently have Internet at home or need help signing up, you can visit a local library or community centre that offers public Internet access.

To participate in this program, you will need to contact the Connecting Families Initiative team for support in registering for this initiative.
