Granisle Internet Services is a unique enterprise that is truly locally-owned and operated.

One of the reasons that people move to Granisle is its beautiful, natural location away from the hustle and bustle of city life. But living in a somewhat remote community also has its unique challenges, and communications was a big one. It's one of the reasons the Village of Granisle got into the Internet business, says Lorna Burkett, a customer service representative with Granisle Internet. "We wanted to provide a more efficient option for residents to have access to internet and communications." "Now there is a better system," says Lorna, and today a third of Granisle's population uses Granisle Internet's services.
The staff at Granisle Internet are thrilled to be able to provide such a vital service to the locals, whom they are proud to serve. It is the people who live here, they add, who make the village of Granisle what it is. "It's a small community," says Lorna, "so everybody knows everybody." So when someone calls Granisle Internet with a question about their services, chances are good that you know them personally, so doing a good job and going out of your way to meet their needs is really important.
The people make the community, says Lorna, and the beautiful natural surroundings are Granisle's next-best characteristic. Many of the staff are fans of outdoor activities. Fishing is a favourite, thanks to the fantastic stock of rainbow trout in Babine Lake.
