Community resilience is no longer optional

Canadian communities are being hammered by natural disasters and local emergencies, while the emergency services they count on are in decline.

Communities can increase their resilience by knowing the people who live around them, knowing what to do in an emergency, and knowing what's happening around them, in real time.

We're building that into the country: Canada's next generation secure, sovereign mesh communication network, free to use for all Canadians, owned where people live.

Northpost, Guides, and Beacon are how a community stays informed, prepared, and connected. Community Ready is the free national program that puts them in place, community by community.

Why it matters

National safety and security: Canadians can reach one another on a network built for them — in an emergency, and on an ordinary afternoon.

National connectivity: The tools we use to communicate, coordinate, and know what matters belong with the communities that use them.

National capability and capacity: Every Canadian can learn the skills that keep a community ready to help — plans, training, and a way to contribute.

A resilient country is built by people who can look after each other.
