This initiative aims to enhance the experience for both residents and visitors by providing internet access in the Downtown Paris Business Improvement Area (BIA), said a news release issued by the county.

“Having accessible internet downtown will allow those visiting the area to make the most of their shopping experience,” said County of Brant Mayor David Bailey. “By providing free WiFi, we are creating a more connected, convenient and attractive environment for everyone, ultimately contributing to the community’s economic and social well-being.”

The primary coverage area will include the Downtown Paris Business Improvement Area, allowing individuals to connect to the internet while shopping or conducting business for short periods, and ensuring fair usage for all by preventing persistent connections.

Signs will be installed in downtown businesses to notify customers of the service.

Visitors to downtown Paris can also access WiFi at the Paris branch of the County of Brant Public Library at 12 William St. Free WiFi access is available at many other locations throughout Brant, including local parks, community centers and libraries. A complete list of locations is available at brant.ca/WiFi.
