TELUS CEO Darren Entwistle has been appointed to the Ordre national du Québec, one of the province's highest distinctions. The honour recognizes his more than 25 years of leadership in transforming TELUS from a regional telecom into a global technology company, while championing Québec as a strategic hub for innovation and economic growth. Under his tenure, TELUS has invested over $40 billion in Québec since 2000, with an additional $8 billion planned to expand broadband networks, and has given more than $100 million in charitable donations alongside 1.8 million volunteer hours by team members in the province. Entwistle, who will become CEO Emeritus upon his retirement in June 2026, was previously appointed to the Order of Canada in 2018 and holds honorary doctorates from McGill University and Concordia University.
Telus CorpCEO receives provincial honor, reflecting positive leadership and community contributions, but no direct business impact.
