About the project
The TELUS PureFibre network is made up of flexible, transparent, durable strands of glass. These fibre optic strands transmit information as pulses of light, and carry huge amounts of information in the space of seconds.
TELUS is the only major provider in Western Canada with a 100% fibre optic connection to the home. That means a fast, always consistent connection. Other providers' networks switch to copper cable before reaching homes, meaning their customers don't see the benefits of a true fibre connection. Once PureFibre construction is complete, you'll be able to enjoy seamless streaming, gaming and video calls.
Connecting your community to the TELUS PureFibre™ network means that you will have access to the unique opportunities that fibre optic internet brings to residents, businesses, organizations, and essential services. Once it is installed, homes and businesses have the option to connect to the fibre optic network and experience the country's fastest internet technology.1
Location and impacts
The majority of construction will take place on public boulevards and utility rights-of-way. In cases where some work needs to take place on private property, TELUS will send out communications to all homeowners in the construction area. In accordance with COVID-19 health restrictions, all TELUS team members and contractors will be following all safety precautions on work sites.
Spring Restoration
Part of TELUS' overall community investment is ensuring the restoration of all property to the same condition it was in prior to construction. This can include soft surface restoration such as leveling with new topsoil and planting grass seed. In places where hard surfaces are impacted, such as concrete or asphalt driveways, TELUS will always fill and repair an impact afterwards. Some restoration may have to wait until spring as this work is weather dependent, and will resume as soon as the ground conditions permit.
Reseeding
Once the TELUS PureFibre install is complete, reseeding will take place in all impacted areas. Click here for detailed watering instructions for newly reseeded property.
General guidelines:
- Keep the reseeded area lightly watered until the grass is established. This may include watering several times daily, being careful not to over-water as the seeds can rot.
- Try to stay off the reseeded areas.
- Do not cut or rake the reseeded areas until the new grass has matured - give the grass time to grow.
