I am a Shaw Mobile customer. Shaw doesn't appear to have a 5G network yet. If I upgrade my phone to one capably of using 5G networks (and remaining as a Shaw customer), will I be able to connect to 5G through other company 5G networks?

@cjmarlow -- short answer: YES.

Note that Shaw Mobile also offers the "Nationwide" cellular-network, which overlaps Shaw's service-areas, and is available in physical locations where there is no Shaw cellular-towers -- the towers in that location belong to Telus/Bell/Rogers. So, it seems possible that when your phone "roams" onto that "Nationwide" network, you might connect using "5G" protocol.

Standalone 5G is pre matured band. Network transmits 1 way services to phone. Phone sent LTE packets back Celluar Network Switch.
