News Summary

Bell Canada is set to launch six artificial intelligence data centres in British Columbia as part of its Bell AI Fabric project, which aims to create the largest AI compute project in Canada. These facilities will provide around 500 megawatts of hydroelectric-powered AI compute capacity. The first centre will open in Kamloops next month in collaboration with American AI inference provider Groq. A second centre is planned in Merritt by the end of the year, with additional centres opening by 2027. These data centres will support Canadian businesses and governments, offering high-performance, sovereign, and environmentally responsible AI computing services. Bell’s new tech services brand, Ateko, will also aid businesses in optimizing operations through AI.
