Over the past century of service CityWest has grown as a company and has been a major instrument of growth for the community. This interactive timeline captures some of the major milestones that we have reached as the company has evolved over the years:

100 years of service

This year CityWest celebrates our 100th anniversary. This important milestone provides us an opportunity to reflect back and celebrate our rich heritage of innovation and development, as well as our promising future.

The founding vision of CityWest was for a local company to provide communications services for Prince Rupert. Through all the evolutions of the past 100 years, that same vision holds true and has expanded to include both communications and entertainment services. The legacy of the founding vision is a company that has a direct impact on the economy of the northwest through job creation, charitable donations, infrastructure investment, shareholder dividends, municipal taxes and more. The reason CityWest has such a profound impact on the communities we serve is because we are locally owned and locally based. Staff and management live and work in the communities we service.

Our local distinction is our greatest competitive advantage. CityWest continues to reach out to local communities that we serve, allowing us to be easily accessible to our customers. We call this strategy “Neighbors serving Neighbors.” Neighbors serving Neighbors is a key component to an aggressive strategic plan for moving CityWest forward into a promising future and our next century of service.

Through this historical timeline we trace our roots from the vision of several citizens to form a telephone company to what has now become a full-service telecommunications and entertainment provider.
