Bell Plans Additional 895 Acres Near Regina for AI Campus Growth

Planning documents submitted to the Rural Municipality of Sherwood show Bell is seeking another 895 acres of farmland outside Regina. The land would support a major expansion of the company’s Saskatchewan AI campus.
Bell’s request concerns an additional 895 acres of farmland near Regina, according to planning documents submitted to the Rural Municipality of Sherwood. The company is seeking the land to support a major expansion of its Saskatchewan AI campus. The proposal highlights how large-scale AI projects can require substantial tracts of land, often in rural areas close to urban centres.
If the expansion proceeds, it could affect local landowners, nearby residents, and the municipality through changes in land use, services, and infrastructure. It may also influence the region’s economy and its role in AI-related development. How those effects balance—such as potential investment against pressure on farmland and local resources—may depend on planning decisions and community input.
