Bell Canada announces it will expand its planned AI data centre project in Saskatchewan at Canada’s first national investment summit in Toronto. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Prime Minister Mark Carney make the announcement together.
Across the outlets, Bell’s plan is described as a major scale-up: City News Toronto reports Bell intends to quadruple the size of the project. Global News (Canada) also frames the announcement as an expansion set to attract very large investment, with details tied to the summit.
The National Observer provides additional figures on impact. It reports the project is expected to bring in more than $50 billion in capital investment, describing it as the largest such investment in Saskatchewan’s history. It also says the expansion increases the data centre’s capacity to 1.2 gigawatts. While outlets agree on the announcement and the scale, they vary mainly in how much technical and investment detail they include.
