*16 or #16 quick diale for Canadian Coast Guard available?

Andy P. #6701

The Canadian Coast Guard can be reached by dialing *16 or #16, if the service provider supports it.
Does Fizz support this emergency dial?

The Coast Guard number is supported by Videotron (airtime is charged)

The number is also supported by Telus and is free

I have not seen a similar list for Fizz. It definitely sounds like a good idea.

 

 

If you frequent boating or water activities, it might be a good idea to program one of these alternate numbers on your phones.  Also dialing 911 is always an option.
