conditions, to require Bell Canada to repurchase such Offered Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Offered Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. See
&#147;Description of Offered Notes &#151; Repurchase upon Change of Control Triggering Event&#148;. Such right may implicate the provisions of the Treasury Regulations relating to contingent payment debt instruments. Under those regulations,
however, a contingency will not cause a debt instrument to be treated as a contingent payment debt instrument if, as of the issue date, such contingency is remote. Bell Canada intends to treat the possibility that a Change of Control Triggering
Event will occur as a remote contingency, and therefore Bell Canada believes that any additional interest that is payable upon the repurchase of the Offered Notes following a Change of Control Triggering Event will be taxable to you only at the time
the interest accrues or is received in accordance with your method of accounting. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Offered Notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. </P>

offering price set forth on the cover page&nbsp;of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; % of the principal amount of the Offered Notes. The underwriters may
allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; % of the principal amount of the Offered Notes to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering, the representatives of the underwriters may

exchange or any automated dealer quotation system. The underwriters may make a market in the Offered Notes after completion of the offering, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making activities at any time without
notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Offered Notes or that an active public market for the Offered Notes will develop. If an active public trading market for the Offered Notes does not develop, the

stabilization action must end no later than the earliest to occur of (i)&nbsp;30 calendar days after the date on which the Company received the proceeds of the offering, or (ii)&nbsp;60 calendar days after the date of allotment of such Offered
Notes. Any stabilization action or over allotment must be conducted by the relevant underwriter(s) (or persons acting on their behalf) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules and will be undertaken at the offices of the underwriter(s) (or

investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities
may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge, and others may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their
customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our
securities, including potentially the Offered Notes. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the Offered Notes. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations

issued under the Credit Facilities. Accordingly, Bell Canada may be considered to be a connected issuer to the underwriters for purposes of securities laws in certain Canadian provinces. Bell Canada and its related issuers are not and have not been
in default of their respective obligations to the Lenders under the Credit Facilities, which are unsecured. The proceeds to be received by Bell Canada from the offering of the Offered Notes may, from time to time, be used to reduce indebtedness
under the Credit Facilities. The decision to distribute the Offered Notes will be made by Bell Canada and the terms and conditions of distribution will be determined through negotiations between Bell Canada and the underwriters. None of the Lenders
have had any involvement in the decision to offer the Offered Notes or in the determination of the terms of distribution of the Offered Notes. None of the underwriters will receive any benefit from the offering of the Offered Notes other than their
respective portions of the remuneration payable by Bell Canada on the principal amount of the Offered Notes sold through or to such underwriters. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates have in the past engaged, and may in the future engage,
in transactions with, and perform services, including commercial banking, financial advisory and investment banking services, for Bell Canada and its related issuers in the ordinary course of business for which they have received or may receive

under the UK Prospectus Regulation and FSMA from the requirement to produce or publish a prospectus for offers of Offered Notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in the UK of the Offered Notes which are the subject of an
offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement may only do so to legal entities which are qualified investors as defined in the UK Prospectus Regulation, provided that no such offer of Offered Notes shall require the Company or any underwriter

defined in point (8)&nbsp;of Article 2(1) of UK MiFIR; or (iii)&nbsp;not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the UK Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by the UK PRIIPs Regulation for offering or

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements about Bell Canada&#146;s and BCE&#146;s
business outlook, objectives, strategies, plans, strategic priorities and results of operations as well as other statements that are not historical facts. A statement we make is forward-looking when it uses what we know and expect today to make a
statement about the future. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words <I>assumption, goal, guidance, objective, outlook, project, strategy, target</I> and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as
<I>aim, anticipate, believe, could, expect, intend, may, plan, seek, should, strive </I>and <I>will</I>. All such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the &#147;safe harbour&#148; provisions of applicable Canadian securities laws and of
the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise indicated by us, forward-looking statements
contained in this Prospectus describe Bell Canada&#146;s and BCE&#146;s expectations, as applicable, as at the date of this Prospectus and forward-looking statements contained in the documents incorporated herein by reference describe Bell
Canada&#146;s and BCE&#146;s expectations, as applicable, as of the date of such documents, unless otherwise indicated in such documents. Except as may be required by Canadian securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise
any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Forward-looking statements, by their
very nature, are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties and are based on several assumptions, both general and specific, which give rise to the possibility that actual results or events could differ materially from our expectations expressed in
or implied by such forward-looking statements and that Bell Canada&#146;s and BCE&#146;s business outlook, objectives, strategies, plans, strategic priorities, results of operations and other statements that are not historical facts may not be
achieved. As a result, we cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will materialize and we caution prospective investors against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are provided in this
Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference for the purpose of assisting investors and others in understanding our business outlook, objectives, strategies, plans and strategic priorities as well as our anticipated operating
environment. Readers are cautioned, however, that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Forward-looking statements
made in this Prospectus and in the documents incorporated herein by reference are based on a number of assumptions that BCE or Bell Canada, as applicable, believed were reasonable on the day they made the forward-looking statements. Refer, in
particular, to the section of the BCE 2020 Third Quarter MD&amp;A entitled &#147;Assumptions&#148; on page 6 of BCE&#146;s shareholder report for the third quarter of 2020 (the &#147;<B>BCE 2020 Third Quarter Shareholder Report</B>&#148;), for a
discussion of certain assumptions that BCE or Bell Canada have made in preparing forward-looking statements, as such disclosure shall be updated from time to time in BCE&#146;s and Bell Canada&#146;s continuous disclosure documents incorporated by
reference herein. If our assumptions turn out to be inaccurate, our actual results could be materially different from what we expect. </P>

holders by the affirmative votes of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the principal amount of MTN Debentures voted on the resolution at a meeting of holders at which a quorum, as specified in the MTN Indenture, is present or as one or more
instruments in writing signed by the holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of all outstanding MTN Debentures. In certain cases, modifications may require separate Extraordinary Resolutions of the holders of a specific series of MTN

days&#146; notice shall be given of the time and place of such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the holders of MTN Debentures present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was
originally called. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain changes can be made only with the consent of each holder of an outstanding series of MTN Debentures. In

institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Events of Default </I></B></P>

and payable and continuation of such default for a period of 90&nbsp;days; (iii)&nbsp;default in the payment of any purchase or sinking fund installment on any MTN Debenture when the same shall become due and payable and continuation of such default
for a period of 30&nbsp;days; (iv)&nbsp;default in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition of the MTN Indenture and continuation of such default for a period of 90&nbsp;days after written notice has been given by the
Trustee to Bell Canada specifying such default and requiring Bell Canada to remedy the same or after written notice by the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the MTN Debentures at the time outstanding; (v)&nbsp;certain events of
insolvency or bankruptcy and, in certain cases, continuation of such events for a period of 60&nbsp;days; and (vi)&nbsp;default, as defined in one or more instruments evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money of Bell Canada, shall happen and be
continuing in relation to indebtedness in excess of 5% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money of Bell Canada, and (a)&nbsp;shall consist of a failure to make any payment of principal at maturity or

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Bell Canada may offer and sell the Debt Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and it may also sell the
Debt Securities to one or more purchasers directly or through agents. Debt Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, or at <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-fixed</FONT> prices. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If offered on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-fixed</FONT> price basis, the Debt Securities may be offered at prevailing market prices
at the time of sale or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers. The prices at which the Debt Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. Consequently, any dealer&#146;s overall compensation will
increase or decrease by the amount by which the aggregate price paid for the Debt Securities by the purchasers exceeds or is less than the gross proceeds paid by the dealers, acting as principals, to Bell Canada. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If, in connection with the offering of Debt Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a <I>bona fide</I> effort to
sell all of the Debt Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial
public offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Debt Securities is less than the gross
proceeds paid by the underwriters to Bell Canada. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A Prospectus Supplement will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent engaged by Bell
Canada, as the case may be, in connection with the offering and sale of a particular series or issue of Debt Securities, and will also set forth the terms of the offering, including the public offering price (or the manner of determination thereof,
if offered on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-fixed</FONT> price basis), the proceeds to Bell Canada and any compensation payable to the underwriters, dealers or agents. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under agreements which may be entered into by Bell Canada, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Debt
Securities may be entitled to indemnification by Bell Canada against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising out of any misrepresentation in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, other than liabilities
arising out of any misrepresentation made by underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the offering of the Debt Securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each
series or issue of Debt Securities will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. In accordance with rules and policy statements of certain Canadian securities regulators, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may
be, may not, throughout the period of distribution of a series of Debt Securities, bid for or purchase such series of Debt Securities. The foregoing restriction is subject to exceptions, on the condition that the bid or purchase is not engaged in
for the purpose of creating actual or apparent active trading in, or raising prices of, such series of Debt Securities. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted under the Universal Market Integrity Rules of the Investment Industry
Regulatory Organization of Canada relating to market stabilization and passive market-making activities and a bid or purchase made for and on behalf of a customer where the order was not solicited during the period of distribution. Subject to the
foregoing and applicable laws, in connection with the offering, and subject to the first exception mentioned above, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may engage in over-allotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to
cover short positions created by the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, in connection with the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the
market price of a particular series of Debt Securities and short positions created by the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, involving the sale by the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, of a greater number of Debt
Securities of such series than may be offered by Bell Canada in the offering. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Debt Securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in
the open market; these activities, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or otherwise. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any underwriters, dealers or agents to or through whom Debt Securities are sold by Bell
Canada for public offering and sale may make a market in the Debt Securities, but such underwriters, dealers or agents will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that a
trading market in the Debt Securities of any series or issue will develop or as to the liquidity of any trading market for the Debt Securities. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An investment in the Debt Securities involves risks. Prospective investors in the Debt Securities should carefully consider the information
contained in, or incorporated by reference in, this Prospectus, including, without limitation, the risk factors disclosed in section 9 entitled &#147;Business risks&#148; of the BCE 2019 Annual MD&amp;A included on pages 93 to 99 of the BCE 2019
Annual Report, as well as in the other sections of the BCE 2019 Annual MD&amp;A referred to therein, as updated in section 6 of the BCE 2020 First Quarter MD&amp;A entitled &#147;Business risks&#148;, on pages 27 to 29 of the BCE 2020 First Quarter
Shareholder Report, in section 7 of the BCE 2020 Second Quarter MD&amp;A entitled &#147;Business risks&#148;, on pages 32 to 35 of the BCE Second Quarter Shareholder Report, and section 7 of the BCE 2020 Third Quarter MD&amp;A entitled
&#147;Business risks&#148;, on pages 32 to 34 of the BCE 2020 Third Quarter Shareholder Report, as such disclosure shall be updated from time to time in BCE&#146;s and Bell Canada&#146;s continuous disclosure documents incorporated by reference
herein, and the risk factors described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Debt Securities Denominated or Payable in Foreign Currencies </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Debt Securities denominated or payable in foreign currencies may entail significant risks, and the extent and nature of such risks change
continuously. These risks include, without limitation, the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency market, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These
risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved. Prospective purchasers should consult their own financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed in an investment in Debt Securities denominated in currencies other than
Canadian dollars. Such Debt Securities are not an appropriate investment for investors who are unsophisticated with respect to foreign currency transactions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Limited Market </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>There is currently no market through which the Debt Securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Debt Securities
issued hereunder. This may affect the pricing of the Debt Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. Also, it cannot be assured that
a secondary market for trading in the Debt Securities will develop or that any secondary market which does develop will continue. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Unsecured Debt Securities, Additional Indebtedness and Structural Subordination </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although the Debt Securities and the Guarantee may not necessarily be subordinated to any other indebtedness, they are not secured.
Furthermore, although Bell Canada&#146;s and BCE&#146;s various debt instruments restrict the incurrence of secured indebtedness, such indebtedness may, subject to certain conditions, be incurred. In addition, Bell Canada&#146;s and BCE&#146;s
subsidiaries may incur indebtedness. Although BCE is the Guarantor of the Debt Securities that may be issued from time to time hereunder, it is not subject to the limitation on liens and other covenants under the Indentures. Consequently, BCE may,
subject to the limitations and covenants under its own debt instruments, incur substantial additional indebtedness, which could make it more difficult for BCE to fulfill its Guarantee obligations with respect to the Debt Securities. The Debt
Securities will be effectively subordinated to the creditors of Bell Canada&#146;s subsidiaries and the Guarantee will be effectively subordinated to the creditors of BCE&#146;s subsidiaries, in that the right of Bell Canada or BCE, as the case may
be, to participate as a shareholder in the distribution of the assets of any subsidiary upon any such distribution would be subject to the prior claims of the creditors of such subsidiary. </P>
