Since 2000, TELUS and its team members have contributed more than $91 million to charitable and non-profit organizations and volunteered more than 1.7 million hours of service to local communities. Eight TELUS Community Boards across Canada lead local philanthropic initiatives. The company provides a wide range of wireline and wireless telecommunications products and services including data, IP, voice, video, and entertainment services. It is the primary local telephone service provider (ILEC) in Alberta, British Columbia, as well as in portions of eastern Quebec near Quebec City and the Gaspé region; it competes with Bell and other telephone companies as a CLEC in many parts of Canada that lie outside of Telus' ILEC regions.
