Admin/Biographical History |
From "Bruce Municipal Telephone System: A Long Line of History, 1910-1994": "The Bruce Municipal Telephone System was established to help link farm families of Bruce Township to one another, and to nearby towns and villages. From 1910 when the first petitions were circulated, to 1994 and fibre optic technology, the BMTS has grown to serve the lakeside communities of Bruce County. With exchanges in Tiverton, Paisley, Port Elgin, and Kincardine, it has over 13,000 customer lines. For some time it was the largest system of its kind in Canada, and one of the most successful. In 1993, it was converted to a public utility of the Township of Bruce." |
