One of our strategic imperatives is to partner, acquire and divest where appropriate to accelerate the implementation of our national growth strategy in the areas of wireless, data and IP.

Through these acquisitions, we gain skilled employees who are in scarce supply; we expand our presence in Central Canada and gain valuable new customers.
