Bell Aliant Inc. is a brand name used by Bell Canada for telecommunications services in Atlantic Canada.
Prior to 2015, Bell Aliant Inc. (formerly Aliant Inc.) was a separate company providing telecom services in the Atlantic provinces and a few other areas throughout Canada. Bell Canada, which had been the largest shareholder in the company and most of its predecessors throughout their respective histories, took full ownership of Bell Aliant in late 2014. Shortly thereafter, Bell Aliant and its subsidiaries were wound up and their operations absorbed by Bell Canada, which nonetheless continues to use the Bell Aliant brand name in Atlantic Canada.[1][2][3]
In late December 2014, the stated capital of Bell Aliant was reduced to $1 without being distributed and Bell Aliant was wound up into Bell Canada. Thus, Bell Canada acquired all of the common shares of [Bell Aliant Regional Communications Inc.] [...] New BARC will be wound up into Bell Canada.
