Telus dividend increase

Board of Directors of TELUS Corporation announced a quarterly dividend increase of from CA$ 0.525 to CA$ 0.545 per share that’s payable January 2, 2019 to holders of record December 11, 2018. This represents a 7.92% increase year-over-year and 3.81% increase to the last quarter dividend. This was a sixteenth dividend increase since TELUS announcing their multi-year dividend growth program in May 2011.

Since I own 55 shares of Telus, this change will increase my 12 month forward dividends by CA$4.40
