Key Background :
TELUS Corporation has spent more than C$70 billion in the last half decade, making it a major force for digital transformation in the nation. The project will also push the technology infrastructure of the country further, by deploying 5G networks, two next-generation artificial intelligence data centers, and enhanced wireless coverage to rural communities.
This long-term investment is a testament to TELUS’ dedication to energizing connectivity, as well as economic growth through sustainability amidst a tough global economy. With one method of addressing the increasing demand for faster and enhanced network service, TELUS aims to further reinforce its digital power.
Geographically, TELUS will invest $24 billion in Ontario through 2028 and concentrate on enhancing network services, green initiatives, and digital innovation. British Columbia will get $17 billion for developing greener, more connected communities. Alberta will get an investment of $16 billion for the same duration. These are well-planned investments to expand services and develop economic opportunities along with building technological leadership in both provinces.
Aside from connectivity, TELUS also invests in social and environmental programs. In Alberta, the company planted almost 6 million trees in 2023 and introduced the Smart Forest program, applying digital monitoring to environmental stewardship. In Ontario, the company has contributed more than $148 million to Ontario charities and community organizations since 2000, positioning it as a socially engaged corporate citizen.
TELUS’s strategy for synergy—integrating infrastructure building, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility—is a driving force for Canada’s digital and green future. Such a vision for the future is one that supports the company’s mission to bring innovation to all Canadians, and to position Canada for the competitiveness of a technology-enabled global economy.
