Just sent an email to my local MP asking him to speak to the Minister about keeping #weatherradio on the air here in Canada. Current plan is to sunset the service in a couple weeks, which, in an area expected to be subject to a devastating earthquake (eventually) seems to be short-sighted. #hamradio #amateurradio #bcwx

🇨🇦 The Canadian Government is DISCONTINUING EMERGENCY Weather Radio Service 😭🤬 @RyanHallYall

Environment and Climate Change Canada is permanently turning off Weatheradio broadcasts across Canada on March 16. 😩

Maybe I'm just sadder than I should be about this (every night I get my forecasts, including AQI reports, from this service), but it also seems short sighted.

Climate collapse is causing more and more extreme weather events that require emergency alerts. The Internet (and their continued reliance on X) becomes a single-point-of-failure for disseminating timely national weather forecasts and weather emergency alerts. This is problematic for all kinds of reasons.

ECCC's site doesn't provide any other information about it but I'm assuming this is part of Carney's broad cuts to public services and infrastructure in Canada. Sad.

Mark Ingalls has an important and informative commentary on the utility of WeatherRadio in Canada and the USA and why it should not only be kept, but promoted and be part of every Canadian's emergency kit!

Looks like on 2026-03-16 Weatheradio and Hello Weather services will be discontinued in Canada.

This currently provides, "Continuous broadcasts of weather information and instant updates when bad weather threatens."

Weatheradio - Canada.ca

Need to be alerted when weather threatens? Or do you just want to hear the latest weather information for your area at any time of day or night, any day of the year? Environment Canada’s Weatheradio network broadcasts weather warnings and current observations and forecasts using the VHF public radio band, 24/7. Within range of more than 90 percent of the population, Weatheradio can be heard on special receivers and, in some areas, on ordinary AM/FM radio.

Dan Satterfield, AWS Certified meteorologist, reports broadcasters w/ colocated (i.e.,inexpensive) NOAA weather radio transmitters, are told (see letter) to stop maintenance on these life-protecting systems. This is the cost-effective warning system which works where cellphones don't. WHY WHY WHY? #noaa #weather #warning #weatherradio #alerts #Emergency #EmergencyAlerts
