B.C. eyes $150M spend for 911 upgrades, including texting
Emergency responders could soon be a simple text message away for British Columbians as the province looks to transition to Next Generation 911.
“When people experience a life-threatening emergency, they need to know they can count on an accessible and reliable 911 system,” said Farnworth. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has mandated the implementation of Next Generation 911, as well as the decommissioning of current 911 networks by March 4, 2025.
E-Comm, which answers 911 calls for 25 of 27 regional districts in B.C. and handles 99 per cent of the province’s total 911 call volume, is spearheading Next Generation 911’s implementation in most municipalities.
