Community Spotlight: The New Gosfield Communications Community Centre

       We’re kicking off September with some incredible news — the brand-new $3 million Cottam facility is opening this month!

Thanks to a $250,000 contribution from Gosfield Communications Co-operative, this vibrant new hub will proudly carry our name as the Gosfield Communications Community Centre.

       This beautiful space was designed for the whole community to enjoy, featuring:


✅ A modern community hall & kitchen
✅ A large outdoor covered pavilion
✅ A refreshed library branch with expanded programming
✅ Wi-Fi and audio/visual equipment provided by Gosfield
✅ A permanent historical display celebrating the story of Cottam


       “Cottam is our home, and we’re committed to helping it thrive for generations to come.”
              – Derek Watts, Chair, Gosfield North Communications

Grand Opening Celebration: Join us Sunday, September 14 at 1:00 pm — we can’t wait to celebrate with you!



Fibre Expansion: Building for the Future
       And that’s not the only exciting news! Gosfield has been working hard to expand our fibre network — and 2025 has already been one of our most ambitious years yet.


       ✅ Projects Completed

2023–24: $3M project upgraded 1,100 homes in our core service area from copper to fibre.

Spring 2025: $750K build brought fibre to 303 homes in eastern Kingsville township.


       ? Work Underway in 2025

Six new phases are now in progress, a $1M investment extending fibre to 350 additional homes by year-end.

       Coming Soon: Our Largest Expansion in a Decade
       We’re thrilled to announce the Ruthven Capital Expansion Project
       A game-changing $5M investment by Gosfield and Quadro that will deliver Gosfield Fibre to over 1,100 more homes:

500 homes in Ruthven

600 homes south along Lake Erie

Completion expected Spring 2026

       This is more than an upgrade, it’s about connecting more families, powering smarter homes, supporting businesses, and keeping our communities future-ready.

The best technology is coming home to Ruthven and Lake Erie and we’re proud to make it happen.


Faster Speeds, Same Price
       We believe membership should come with rewards. That’s why as of October 1st 2025 , residential customers were automatically upgraded to faster speeds at no extra cost. No action needed, no service disruption, just more speed for the same price!

HomeHub – 500 mbps (was 120–365 Mbps) – $74.95 ($62.99 w/ 2-yr)

ProConnect – 1000 mbps (no change)  $94.95 ($69.99 w/ 2-yr)

       All plans include: unlimited usage, synchronous upload/download speeds, no hidden fees, and service delivered over Gosfield’s 100% fibre network.


Amalgamation Update: Gosfield + Quadro
       Looking ahead, we’re preparing for another milestone: the official amalgamation of Gosfield and Quadro on January 1, 2026.
       Behind the scenes, our teams are working hard to align systems, processes, and services. What does this mean for you? A stronger co-operative, more resources, and the ability to bring even more value to our members and communities.
