Bell Data Centres is the data centre and colocation arm of Bell Canada (a subsidiary of BCE Inc.), operating a national network of facilities that has historically provided colocation, managed hosting, and cloud-based services (SaaS, hosted unified communications) to Canadian enterprise and government customers. As of 2026, Bell directly owns and operates data centres located in its network central offices in Calgary, Halifax, Saint John, St. John’s, Toronto, and Gatineau, after selling a much larger 13-site, 25-facility Canadian colocation portfolio to Equinix in a 2020 transaction valued at roughly CAD $1.04 billion. Since 2025, Bell has pivoted aggressively into AI infrastructure through ‘Bell AI Fabric,’ a planned national network of sovereign AI data centres that began with a British Columbia ‘supercluster’ (Kamloops and Merritt) powered by Groq AI inference chips and hydroelectricity, and now includes a large-scale AI campus under construction near Regina, Saskatchewan, pre-leased to CoreWeave and Cerebras. Bell’s approach is distinctive for pairing legacy telecom-grade colocation with a sovereign-AI compute strategy explicitly aimed at keeping Canadian AI workloads on domestic, hydro-powered infrastructure.
Bell Data Centres operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:
