SAINTE-MARIE – Telus today announced it is investing $10 million in its network infrastructure in Quebec’s Chaudière-Appalaches region this year.
The company announced it will be “rolling out its PureFibre network to 10 communities in Beauce-Sartigan, Bellechasse, Lotbinière, Montmagny and Nouvelle-Beauce RCMs (Regional County Municipality),” a press release explains.
In addition to Telus’ own investment, this project has benefitted from funding from the Canadian and Quebec governments, which have contributed $13 million in 2021 and 2022 through the Operation High-Speed program.
The funding will more specifically go towards deploying Telus’ PureFibre network to 4,500 homes and businesses in Berthier-sur-Mer, Leclercville, Saint-Côme-Linière, Saint-Isidore, Saint-Joseph-des-Érables, Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon, Saint-Léon-de-Standon, Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce, Saint-Pierre-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud and Vallée-Jonction. It will also be used to support local organizations and families in Chaudière-Appalaches.
“Our 350 team members and ecosystem of partners in the Chaudière-Appalaches region are using technology to create a better future for citizens by bridging the digital divide with our world-class networks,” said Nathalie Dionne, Telus’ interim vice-president of home solutions and customer excellence in Quebec, in the release.
“Ninety-nine per cent of families and businesses in our Quebec territory are connected to our PureFibre network, and we continue to invest with the objective of connecting all households to high speed internet by September 2022.”
