Ever wondered what the future will look like? Well, Telus is giving you a chance as it brings The Future Home to Abbotsford starting Friday, March 31.
The public will get a sneak preview into what a home of the future could look like because of faster Internet speeds, enabled by a fibre optic network.
The 585-square-foot Future Home, powered by TELUS PureFibre™, is designed to demonstrate innovative concept technology. Experiences include an EcoHub that looks at the energy saving and eco friendly items in a home at the click of a button and an intelligent kitchen with a smart stove, counter, skillet and interactive recipes. Check out the TELUS Future Home website to get a glimpse of what to expect at fibre.telus.com/futurehome/.
The arrival of the Future Home follows TELUS’ announcement that it is investing $80.6 million in Abbotsford to connect local homes and businesses to the TELUS PureFibre™ network.
The home is free to visit and open to the public. It will be located at Highstreet Mall (3122 Mount Lehman Rd.) starting Friday, March 31 to Friday, April 7 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Monday to Tuesday), 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Wednesday to Friday) and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Saturday to Sunday).
