QUADRO COMMUNICATIONS CO- OPERATIVE INC.

• Quadro Communications Co-operative Inc. is one of thirty-nine independent telephone systems in Canada. Quadro’s ILEC (independent local exchange carrier) territory serves a rural area of approximately eight hundred kilometres in South-western Ontario, providing a variety of telecommunications services to three and a half thousand customers.

• Quadro ILEC customers reside in the four exchanges of Kirkton ,Granton, Sebringville and Uniondale.

• Quadro is now a CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) which now provides Phone & Internet Service to Lucan, Dublin, Mitchell, St. Columban, Stratford, St. Marys & London.

• A very distinct feature of Quadro’s structure is that it is a Co-operative. Quadro customers own the company and elect a governing board of directors to oversee activities within the company. These directors are composed of existing Quadro customers. The Board of Directors are positioned between the members and the management of the Co-operative. In this role the Board listens, informs and advises. Its mandate includes the overall responsibility and authority for the operation of the co-operative.
