Enabling access to world-leading technology
Expanding access to our world leading connectivity in partnership with Indigenous governments is the foundation of our reconciliation strategy. Through bold thinking and meaningful action, we’re always building Canada to make the future friendly — creating positive change for generations to come.
In 2025, our co-funding partnerships expanded connectivity to 23 Indigenous lands and 7 communities.
We are privileged to collaborate with Indigenous leaders, organizations and governments of all levels, building meaningful relationships as we work towards a future where all communities are connected. Hear from members of some of the communities we have recently connected as they share how access to TELUS’ networks has changed the way they work and live in their home communities.
TELUS PureFibre® is a world-class wireline infrastructure that provides access to digital tools that are essential for enhancing health, social and economic outcomes. As one of the most advanced broadband network technologies available today, our gigabit-enabled TELUS PureFibre investment is designed to keep up with rapidly evolving technology, delivering increasingly faster connections.
This infrastructure forms the backbone of TELUS’ 5G network, enabling access to the next generation of wireless technology — the fastest and most robust communications technology globally. Our wireless LTE coverage (wHSIA) leverages our comprehensive infrastructure to bring high-speed internet access to previously unconnected remote areas.
