Emergency Services
9-1-1
The fully operational system utilizes the latest in computer and
GPS satellite technology. It provides emergency dispatch of ambulance,
fire and police services to all of Bruce County.
In case of an emergency dial 911. Your call will be dispatched
to the appropriate response organization. Please remember that if
you are calling from a cellular phone, the dispatcher will not be
able to access your location. It is important that you are aware
of your civic address. Your civic address is your house number and
street or, if you are in a rural area, the green sign along the
roadside. Residents are asked to have their address numbers clearly
visible on their houses. If you are in a rural area you are required
to replace your 911 sign if it is damaged or missing. Signs can
be ordered at the Municipal Office.
