The expansion adds to MTS’s coverage of 98 percent of the province’s population.
“This is a positive step toward our goal, which is getting full cellular coverage for southeastern Manitoba,” said RM of Piney Reeve Wayne Anderson. “We are grateful that MTS is providing this new service to the Piney area.”
MTS CEO Jay Forbes made the announcement in the community, accompanied by representatives from all three levels of government.
