Sarah Turnbull, a Regina city councillor, has called for more information regarding the potential impact of Bell’s AI data centre expansion in the RM of Sherwood on the City of Regina. Through a notice of motion, Turnbull requested that city administration produce a report detailing the implications for Regina, including its water supply, infrastructure, air quality, and noise levels. The expansion project involves the Bell AI Fabric data centre campus. While the Mayor of Regina was consulted regarding the expansion, Turnbull expressed concerns about the lack of transparency regarding the decision to allow the data centre to expand.
