Soon, you won't have to worry about mobile data charges while watching the Kardashians and working out at a community centre or while listening to a Canucks game and watching your kid play hockey at the arena.
That's because Richmond City Council approved a $258,000 free public WiFi program that will see the installation of wireless connections at recreation centres, arenas, pools and some parks and public spaces.
Details of the program were not shared in the city's one-time expenditure report but it's noted that this is only the first phase of the WiFi network.
The first phase is expected to be complete by the end of 2015.
The WiFi program is part of a 2015 $2.1 million one-time expenses budget for the City of Richmond.
Last year Vancouver rolled out a similar program via its parks board.
