E-Comm 9-1-1 has seen an influx of calls across the province since the new travel restrictions were announced by Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth.
From now until the end of the May long weekend, BC is divided into three regions with the Northern and Interior Health Authorities sandwiched together.
Director of Communications, Jasmine Bradley told Vista Radio she can’t stress enough that these types of calls often take away from dealing with life-threatening situations.
“We really do need people to understand that anytime a lifeline on the 9-1-1 system or on the non-emergency line that doesn’t belong on either of those systems it is putting lives at risk and tying up resources for the wrong reason.”
