NorthernTel (formerly Northern Telephone) is a telephone company in Ontario, Canada.
NorthernTel began in April 1905 as the Temiskaming Telephone Company. It grew by buying other regional telephone providers and became the Northern Telephone Company Ltd. in 1928. Over the years, the company expanded into Western Ontario and Northwestern Quebec. These assets were later sold to Bell Canada (1969) and Télébec (1976), respectively.
The company changed its name to NorthernTel in 2003. Today, NorthernTel is the local telephone provider in several Northeastern Ontario communities, notably Timmins.
Bell Nordiq Group Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Bell Aliant, holds a 63.4% interest in NorthernTel. The Bell Nordiq Income Fund (TSX: BNQ.UN) owns the remainder.
