Alert Ready system to be tested at 12:55pm Wednesday

Cell phones across the province will be chiming today (May 10th), as Alert Ready, Canada’s Emergency Alert System, will be running a test.

The test will take place in Ontario at 12:55pm over television, radio and compatible wireless devices.

Regular testing helps to ensure that the Alert Ready system operates as intended during an imminent life-threatening situation.

The next test is scheduled for November.
