Phone and internet service in the remote area is spotty.
The death of a young man in Ditidaht this past weekend highlights the “dire need” for up-to-date communication services, says the nation’s chief.
There’s no cell service at the Ditidaht First Nation, which is in a remote area on the west side of Vancouver Island, other than one Telus picocell hotspot, Chief Councillor Judi Thomas said via her cellphone while in Port Alberni on Wednesday. It’s at the community hall where people can call for emergency help but it has a limited radius, she said.
The other option in case of emergency is to run to the nearest house in hopes of getting access to the internet — it may not be available, she said. “Shocking isn’t it?” Nation members and RCMP knocked on doors Saturday to notify residents about the death, Thomas said.
