Utility Projects

Beginning March 2026, Fibre Connect will be installing new fibre-optic infrastructure in select residential and business areas of Chestermere. This project will expand high-speed internet access to many areas where fibre was not previously available. Fibre Connect is subcontracting work to Ledcor Technical Services, who will design and build the network.

You may receive a letter or home visit from Ledcor Technical Services representing Fibre Connect. This is a legitimate project supported by the City, focused on bringing improved fibre optic connectivity and upgraded network infrastructure to Chestermere. 

Most construction occurs in the public boulevard/utility right-of-way (typically within ~2 metres of your property line). These corridors are designated for utility access and maintenance. All work is completed under City approved permits. 

Extending fibre from the street to your building requires your permission. A small exterior termination box will be installed, using the least-intrusive route (often the same path as your existing copper line).

Read the letter  from Fibre Connect to Chestermere households and businesses.

Methods:  

• Underground – Conduit from the utility box to your building
•  Aerial – Fibre along pole lines to your building

Cost:  

There is no cost during this project’s active construction window to have fibre installed to your home or business.

A Fibre Connect representative will go door-to-door to eligible properties to request signed approval from property owners.

1. Preparation – Utility locates, survey, and marking
2. Property connection (optional) – Representatives seek owner approval for fibre to the building
3. Construction – Crews install conduit/fibre in rights-of-way
4. Service sign-up – Once connected, you may opt to purchase services from telecom providers leasing the network (e.g., TELUS PureFibre)
