Welcome to
Sabi Group

During the week of October 19th to 23rd, 2020, Sabi Group (Sabi Thorne Holdings Ltd), along with their dedicated and experienced team, undertook a crucial initiative aimed at enhancing the quality of life for residents of Georgina Island and ensuring their access to modern digital infrastructure.

The project involved the installation of a significant section of fiber optic cable, creating a vital connection between the Georgina mainland and Georgina Island. This connection was established via a 3-kilometer water crossing over Lake Simcoe. Utilizing a barge, the team successfully laid fiber optic cables from the east and west shorelines of the ferry launch in Georgina, completing a continuous loop under Lake Simcoe to the island’s east and west shorelines.

This endeavor not only connects the residents of Georgina Island but also links essential community services, including the Georgina Island Police Station, Fire Department, and Waabgon Gamig First Nations School. Through this project, Sabi Group played an integral role in ensuring that the community remains connected and no one is left behind in the digital age.
