Welcome to Canada’s 9-1-1 Information Hub

You may know about the move to Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) and wondered what that meant, or how it would impact the current 9-1-1 system. 

The short answer is that nothing changes for anyone voice calling 9-1-1. While the upgrades being made by emergency services across Canada to support NG9-1-1 will not change how you call for help, what is changing with NG9-1-1 is the behind-the-scenes technology used by emergency services. These updates will allow the 9-1-1 system to handle new services in the future.

This website will be updated as information becomes available, so check back regularly!
