Bell Data Centres refers to the physical AI-infrastructure and data-centre facilities operated by Bell Canada (a subsidiary of BCE Inc.), most notably through its ‘Bell AI Fabric’ program launched in 2025 to build sovereign, hydro-powered AI data centres across the country. Rather than a legacy retail colocation footprint (Bell sold 13 of its traditional carrier-hotel data centres to Equinix in 2020), Bell’s current physical build-out centers on purpose-built, liquid-cooled AI facilities in British Columbia (Kamloops and Merritt) and a large new 300MW campus under construction near Regina, Saskatchewan, pre-leased to AI/GPU tenants such as CoreWeave, Cerebras, Groq, Cohere and BUZZ HPC (a HIVE Digital Technologies subsidiary). Bell frames these sites as “sovereign” Canadian AI infrastructure — space, power and security wrapped around high-density GPU compute for enterprise and government tenants who bring or partner on their own hardware, rather than a general-purpose cloud service sold directly by Bell.
Bell Data Centres operates as a AI-optimized colocation provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:

AI Data Centers
Bell's AI-optimized facilities are concentrated in its 'Bell AI Fabric' network, which began with a flagship liquid-cooled site in Kamloops, BC built with AI chip designer Groq that came online in October 2025. A second BC facility in Merritt, developed with BUZZ HPC (a HIVE Digital Technologies subsidiary), uses high-density liquid cooling and NVIDIA Hopper and Blackwell GPU clusters with InfiniBand networking to serve customers including Cohere. Bell is also building a much larger 300MW AI campus near Regina, Saskatchewan, already pre-leased to CoreWeave and Cerebras, positioning the site as one of the largest purpose-built data centres in Canada.

Common Questions
Does Bell operate AI/GPU-specific data centre infrastructure?
Yes. Through Bell AI Fabric, Bell has built liquid-cooled, high-density facilities in Kamloops and Merritt, British Columbia, hosting NVIDIA Hopper and Blackwell-based GPU clusters for partners like Groq and BUZZ HPC, and is constructing a much larger 300MW AI campus near Regina, Saskatchewan pre-leased to CoreWeave and Cerebras.
Does Bell still operate the colocation data centres it used to run in cities like Toronto, Montreal and Calgary?
Largely no — in 2020 Bell sold 13 of its legacy Canadian data centres, spanning Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Kamloops and Saint John, to Equinix for US$780 million, so most of that historical colocation footprint is now run by Equinix rather than Bell.
What is Bell AI Fabric?
Bell AI Fabric is Bell Canada's national initiative, launched in 2025, to build a network of sovereign AI data centres, starting with a planned six-site "supercluster" in British Columbia backed by roughly 500MW of hydroelectric power.
How big is the new Bell data centre planned near Regina?
Bell and the Government of Saskatchewan announced a 300-megawatt AI data centre campus in the Rural Municipality of Sherwood, south of Regina, described by Bell as the largest purpose-built data centre in Canada, with construction beginning in spring 2026 and the first stage expected online in the first half of 2027.
