With Canada's first Sovereign AI Factory in Rimouski, Quebec, now sold out, TELUS is expanding its sovereign AI infrastructure with three world-class facilities in B.C.

Designed to be the world's most sustainable sovereign data centres, the cluster will scale to over 60,000 GPUs and 150 MW by 2032

VANCOUVER, BC, May 11, 2026 /CNW/ - TELUS is advancing work with the Government of Canada on a proposed Sovereign AI Factory cluster under the federal Enabling Large-Scale Sovereign AI Data Centres initiative – a program designed to build the sovereign, high-performance AI compute infrastructure Canada needs to compete in the global AI economy. TELUS, Westbank and the Government of Canada are working together on the details of this collaboration, as TELUS scales its Sovereign AI Factory network across three world-class facilities in British Columbia, delivering one of the world's most powerful and sustainable AI infrastructure clusters – built on Canadian soil.
