Episode Details

Environment and Climate Change Canada has discontinued Weatheradio, a network of stations providing weather updates since 1976. The service was shut down due to high maintenance costs and technical challenges. The move has left amateur radio operators and weather enthusiasts feeling the impact, as they relied on the service for backup and official information. ECCC is encouraging the use of Alert Ready, WeatherCan app, and main website for warnings, but concerns about misinformation on social media persist. Local ham radio crews in Saskatchewan are stepping up to fill the gap with a severe weather net using internet links.
