Curious if this is still an ongoing problem or based on old info, I've been with freedom for 7+ years now but I don't go into institutional spaces. I know I went to Golden on a ski trip a couple of years ago and it worked just fine. The only issue then was jumping off the freedom home network and paying for roaming which wasn't much. But with Shaw, it would all be part of their nationwide area.
It still is a problem with dead zones in certain buildings at both campuses. Wi-fi calling is a band-aid solution, but with one of my friends when they're calling from foothills, the reception generally is weak still.

Their coverage zone for Banff/Canmore is 'nationwide', but they have different data/plan limits on those, as well the connection is still very spotty; again with first hand experience from my friend.
