In today’s world, the need to be online is undeniable. And yet, 20,000 Nova Scotians don’t have the Internet at home simply because they can’t afford it. Many more can’t afford a decent device and others don’t have the basic digital skills they need.

G-E-O stands for Getting Everyone Online, and that’s what we are doing. GEO Nova Scotia works with a wide variety of partners across the province, dedicated to ensuring everyone has what they need for digital inclusion.
