PERTH COUNTY (April 26th, 2024) – To find you more easily in an emergency, 911 dispatchers for the municipalities of North Perth, Perth East, West Perth, portions of Perth South, The Town of St. Marys and the City of Stratford are now utilizing a new location technology called what3words. We are encouraging members of the public to download the what3words app in the event that they become lost or are unable to communicate their location to emergency dispatchers.
what3words is an easy way to talk about location. Every three-metres square in the world has been assigned a what3words address. It is a unique combination of three words, such as ///frizz.empty.blot that will take you to the front door of Stratford City Hall or ///showdown.sticks.clash which will take you to the exact spot of the Listowel Clock Tower. The app is free to use and also works offline making it ideal for use in areas that might have poor cellular service, such as the G2G Rail Trail that is enjoyed by hikers, tourists and lovers of the great outdoors.
