Provincial funding for new radio towers

The province is providing $1.6 million to add four new radio towers to the network used by public safety agencies and volunteers.  They’ll be in River John, Port Mouton, Springhill, and Gore.  These sites were assessed and selected as priority areas for the network, with the range for coverage about 35 kilometres from the tower site.
