SPRUCE GROVE, Alta. – Telus and the City of Spruce Grove announced today they are investing a total of $54 million to connect the city to Telus’s PureFibre network.
The City of Spruce Grove will contribute $4.25 million to connect commercial and industrial areas while Telus will invest $50 million to connect over 90% of homes and businesses within city bounds, a press release says.
This investment is part of Telus’s commitment to invest $14.5 billion in infrastructure and operations in Alberta through 2024.
“Work on the PureFibre network in Spruce Grove is starting this month,” the press release says. Telus anticipates most “homes and businesses will be connected by the end of 2023, with the commercial and industrial areas to be completed first.”
Earlier this week, Telus announced it has expanded its 5G network to Drayton Valley as part of its $14.5 billion investment in Alberta. “Local residents and businesses now have access to TELUS’ lightning-fast 5G network, which will contribute to improved health and educational outcomes for Albertans, in addition to enabling an entrepreneurial spirit and unleashing human productivity,” a press release reads.
