Canada · 1 project · Last reported
Summary
Bell Canada is building a 300 MW Bell AI Fabric data centre campus in the Rural Municipality of Sherwood, which surrounds Regina, Saskatchewan. In October 2026 Bell reported structural steel rising on all four first-phase buildings, more than 500 workers on site and the first data hall on track to operate in the first half of 2027. In September 2026 Bell and the Government of Saskatchewan signed a non-binding memorandum for up to 900 MW more, which would make the Sherwood campus the first phase of a potential 1.2 GW provincial AI hub.

Power supply
| Type | Description | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| Grid | The province says the original 300 MW comes from the provincial grid; a new high-voltage substation will connect the campus. | BCE Inc.; Government of Saskatchewan |
| Other | Expansion of up to 900 MW would use Bell-arranged generation under the province's bring-your-own-power approach; Bell describes it as partner-developed natural gas generation. Siting relative to the campus was not stated. | BCE Inc.; Government of Saskatchewan |
Bell says total capital investment across its Saskatchewan presence, including data centre infrastructure, customer compute and power generation, could exceed 50 billion dollars if fully realized; this is province-wide and not recorded as a campus metric.

The federal Impact Assessment Agency's registry identifies Bell Canada's 300 MW AI data centre on a 65-hectare agricultural site in the Rural Municipality of Sherwood. On June 5, 2026, the agency declined designation requests because the physical activity had substantially begun. This adds federal identity and site-size context; the status remains the October 1 construction observation, and the registry's approximate map marker is not used as a location. evidence

Evidence
Sources are linked, not redistributed; each keeps its own terms. An archived copy is a lookup for the Wayback Machine capture nearest the retrieval date and may be unavailable or differ from what was reviewed. Each hash states what it covers; imported factual records are not publisher-page captures.
