CityWest adds to the stable of acquisitions with yet another Vancouver Island announcement

For the second Friday in a row this month, CityWest has announced
another communication company acquisition on Vancouver Island

Prince Rupert based CityWest is expanding on its growing list of acquisitions, with the City of Prince Rupert Communication company announcing today that it has acquired Ragged Edge Community Network Society on Northern Vancouver Island.

The subject of CityWest's interest is a non-profit Society which has been servicing clients and remote local businesses with wireless Internet services since 2006.

With the acquisition CityWest will now be providing service to customers in Sointula, Hyde Creek, Telegraph Cove, Holberg, Quatsino, Zeballos, Ehattesaht First Nations, Gilford Island, and areas surrounding Port McNeill. 

Some of the communities of note from today's 
acquisition announcement for CityWest

As part of today's information release, Stefan Woloszyn, CEO of CityWest noted the enthusiasm for the company to operate the services in their new communities.

“We are very excited about our collaboration with Ragged Edge. The team has done a tremendous job providing services to their rural and remote customers over the past 17 years. CityWest is honoured to work alongside the Ragged Edge Community Network Society on a plan for better connectivity in their communities.”

The move comes following a recent announcement which saw CityWest expand its services on Vancouver Island and Islands offshore of it.

As was the case with the announcement last Friday of the acquisition of service on Texada Island, no financial terms towards the acquisition were released today.
