OAKVILLE, Ont., Nov.4, 2025 – Pelmorex expresses its sincere appreciation for the Government of Canada’s commitment to public safety, as evidenced by the federal budget’s allocation of critical funding for the National Public Alerting System (NPAS), known as Alert Ready/En Alerte.
“We are incredibly grateful for the federal government’s recognition of the indispensable role the Alert Ready system plays in protecting Canadians,” said Maureen Rogers, President & CEO, Pelmorex. “This funding is a vital step forward, ensuring the continued reliability and operational excellence of this life-saving service.”
