|| = || __ CANADA-WIDE TOMORROW
Canada will test its emergency alert system on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.
The test of Alert Ready, Canada’s national public alert system, will take place in every province and territory except Quebec. (Quebec has opted out.)
Test messages from provincial or territorial emergency management organizations will appear on television, radio and wireless devices like smartphones.
The reason is to test the system in case of a real emergency in the future.
It's also a good idea to think about how you can prepare now (for the day you might receive a real alert - and need to evacuate quickly).
In Alberta, the test will be conducted at 1:55pm. Other time zones are listed below:
British Columbia – 1:55 p.m. PDT
Manitoba – 1:55 p.m. CDT
Newfoundland and Labrador – 10:45 a.m. NDT
Northwest Territories – 9:55 a.m. MDT
Nova Scotia – 1:55 p.m. ADT
Nunavut – 2 p.m. EDT
Ontario – 12:55 p.m. EDT
Prince Edward Island – 12:55 p.m. ADT
Saskatchewan – 1:55 p.m. CST
Yukon – 1:55 p.m. YST
