9-1-1 Services
9-1-1 is recognized as the nationwide emergency number. The Enhanced 9-1-1 system automatically displays the telephone number, address and name for which the phone is listed if the call is made from a wireline or "landline" telephone. If the caller is unable to remain on the line, unable to speak or if the call is disconnected, the dispatcher (call taker) can still obtain enough information to send help.
Any emergency-related cases requiring Fire Department, Ambulance and RCMP, please call 9-1-1.
