Any Word on 5G network update announced a year ago?

Service/Coverage Inquiry

Last year, Freedom announced an expansion to their 5G network footprint, stating that

The Greater Toronto Area now enjoys even more complete and extensive 5G/5G+ coverage. Freedom has added more than a hundred cell sites in areas with growing demand, including downtown and outlying communities such as Bradford West Gwillimbury, Newmarket and Stouffville. The communities of Barrie, Brantford, Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton, Kitchener, London, Niagara Falls, Peterborough, St. Catharines, Waterloo and Windsor also have dozens of new 5G cell sites covering key areas such as the University of Windsor, Mohawk College in Hamilton and Conestoga Mall in Kitchener.

Alberta and British Columbia

To fulfill its commitment to deliver a superior wireless experience to customers in Western Canada, Freedom recently activated close to 40 new 5G sites in the Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria areas. The new sites will improve coverage in key locations such as Edmonton International Airport (Leduc), the West Edmonton Mall and the community of St. Albert to the northwest, in addition to dense urban areas.

After a year, these announcements have not materialized such as in cities like Peterborough. To their credit, places like Niagara and Barrie have gotten 5G coverage and 5G+ has been rolling out in the GTA. Does anyone know if there is some kind of timeline or info on the fulfillment of this expansion?
