This new article was forked from the previous article Telus Corporation, which consisted mainly of a timeline. The older article was moved to A timeline of the history of Telus Corporation. Content from that article is being included here in the relevant sections, "Overview", "Background", "Assets under management", "Subsidiaries and Associate companies", "Acquisitions and Mergers", "Management" with a subsection for "Board of Directors".

Telus Corporation (conglomerate), with a history going back to 1990, is the parent company of Telus Communications, Telus Mobility, Telus Health, and Telus International. Telus Health, which was formerly known as Emergis, an e-Business was acquired by Telus Corporation in 2007 for $763 million. [1] Telus Health was divided into three segments—'Telus Health Solutions, Telus Assyst Real Estate, and Telus Financial Solutions.

However, there is some confusion that results from the official company policy of using the capitalized TELUS in the media when referring to Telus Corporation and Telus Communications, etc. This is similar to Talk:Quebecor and Quebecor Media which for awhile had two articles with overlapping content in the infoboxes. It would be helpful to clarify distinctions by cited RS as precisely as possible Telus Corp vs Telus Communications etc, in articles related to Telus. Oceanflynn ( talk) 16:51, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
There is a discussion which proposes a reorganization of the various Telus pages here.
For additional information, about the proposed changes, please go here. Thank you. -- WILDSTAR talk 13:36, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Telus Corporation (conglomerate) → Telus Corporation – No reason for this article to have a disambiguation in the title when the more concise title was free. It should be renamed as per WP:CONCISE. Svgalbertian ( talk) 15:57, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Removed the "divisions" from "Subsidiaries and divisions" heading. Best not to start adding all the many Telus divisions. There are many, and adding all of them would be no better than having what was forked into a new article called A timeline of the hisotry of Telus Corporation and quickly changed to History of Telus. Don't need to head towards another fork. To that end, commented out the Babylon section to preserve the references. It's a c/p from Telus which may better suited for the Babylon article. Added new heading called Community investment. Normally Community involvement is used, but this one could include additional material on the new Canadian initiatives TELUS Ventures and TELUS Wise. -- WILDSTAR talk 23:25, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
