Telus Announces Five-Year $70B Funding Plan to Bolster Networks, Open AI Data Centres

  • Telus Corp. revealed plans on Tuesday to invest over $70 billion across Canada in the coming five years to upgrade its network infrastructure and establish new artificial intelligence data centres.
  • The investment responds to Canada's slowing economy, partly caused by U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos, leading companies to boost local operations and diversify markets.
  • Telus will enhance fibre connectivity in B.C., Alberta, Quebec, and Ontario, expand broadband to 20 Indigenous lands and 53 rural communities by 2026, and build two AI data centres in Kamloops and Rimouski.
  • The company stated the AI centres will provide "access to cutting-edge technology" to fuel homegrown innovation, improve wireless coverage via 5G and LTE, and support urban and rural prosperity.
  • Telus' $70 billion investment aims to power advanced digital services, accelerate innovation across sectors, and enhance national productivity amid an uncertain economic environment.
