@chek.news: The Capital Regional District will forward a motion at next week’s Union of BC Municipalities Conference to modernize the model that pays for the South Island’s 911 emergency service. “The province should adapt the levy system to reflect the reality that more people use cell phones,” said CRD board chair Colin Plant. Under the current model, which has been in place since Capital Region Emergency Services Telecommunications was formed in 2001, a levy from telephone landlines covers the cost of the service. #News #CHEKNews #Victoria #Saanich #CRD #CapitalRegionalDistrict #VancouverIsland #BC #BritishColumbia #Canada #911 #911Calls #911Fee #CellPhones #StatisticsCanada #StatCan #CREST

How about just charging people with stupid 911 calls. It’s an emergency number. People have always abused it, now make them pay.
