The Canadian Radio-Television and Tele-communication Commission (CRTC) has begun a transition to an enhanced and expanded emergency response system known as the “Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911)” program. On June 1, 2017, the CRTC directed all telephone companies to update their networks and data in order to prepare for enhanced 9-1-1 services.

In Hamilton, several duplicate street names and municipal addressing issues have been identified for resolution in order to facilitate the Next Generation 9-1-1 program.
