UBCM and the Province have reviewed the program design for the 2025 Next Generation 911 program and have agreed to amend some aspects of the program. The application deadline has been extended to April 11, 2025. Eligible applicants may submit applications at any time before this date.
The funding for eligible municipally-run RCMP Operational Communications Centres (OCC) was originally limited in funding to $500,000, including a limited suite of eligible activities. However, after a re-examination of how eligible OCCs are transitioning to Next Generation 911, it was decided to increase this funding to $2 million and expand eligible activities to mirror eligibility for secondary Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs).
All other aspects of the program design, including funding for primary and secondary PSAPs and additional base funding, remain the same.
