Telus Investing $66B to Enhance Canadian Operations, Connectivity

What’s Happening at Telus?

On May 20, 2026, Telus announced plans to invest more than $66 billion to expand and enhance its network infrastructure and operations across Canada.

“[This investment] builds upon the $294 billion that TELUS has put to work across Canada since 2000, to ensure our fellow citizens have the vital connectivity needed to thrive in today’s digital world,” CEO Darren Entwistle said in a news release.

“The critical infrastructure our talented team of innovators and engineers is creating represents the 21st century equivalent to building transportation corridors that connect our country.”

According to the Canadian telecommunications giant, the latest investment will be implemented over the next 5 years.

How Does This Affect Employment?

Expanding network infrastructure could create new jobs at Telus in order for it to accomplish key objectives at the end of the 5-year period.

However, the company has been looking for ways to scale back its staffing levels — expanding its voluntary buyout program into 2026.
