Bell Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan announced construction progress on the 300-megawatt Bell AI Fabric data centre campus in the Rural Municipality of Sherwood, employing over 500 people with the first data hall slated to open in the first half of 2027. The project involves more than 30 local firms, including Dynamo Electric constructing a high-voltage substation and Prairie Steel supplying pre-engineered building systems from Clavet, alongside Indigenous partner businesses from George Gordon Developments Ltd. The first phase could expand toward a potential 1.2-gigawatt Canadian AI infrastructure hub representing over $50 billion in total capital investment, while Bell also announced a $1 million mental health commitment in the province.
