1:55 p.m.
Alert Ready test scheduled for May 7
May 7, 2025 | 11:15 AM
Alert Ready, Canada’s emergency public alerting system, will be put to the test today.
The alert and its distinctive tone will be broadcast on T-V, radio, and some compatible wireless devices at 1:55 p.m. Wednesday, May 7.
Each province or territory has a specific test time, ranging from morning to afternoon, except Quebec, which does not participate.
The annually regulated test simulates an emergency but requires no action from the public, and is part of Canada’s effort to ensure the system works and raises awareness.
