From disaster relief to digital inclusion — our Canadian programs address critical gaps in community infrastructure and emergency preparedness.

Our physical operations center in Calgary serves as the hub for program coordination, supply distribution, volunteer management, and emergency response staging.
During the devastating 2013 Calgary floods, WestNet deployed emergency Wi-Fi networks to reconnect displaced families with emergency services and loved ones. Our rapid-response team set up communications infrastructure in evacuation centers within hours of the disaster.
This response became the blueprint for our emergency communications program — now deployable to any disaster zone across Canada with satellite uplinks, portable LTE, and mesh networking capability.
