Emergency Services

Canora’s policing services are delivered by a five-member detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Its members are actively involved in several programs within the community, including: Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE), Citizens on Patrol, the local skate park and a PARTY Program, which educates students about drinking and driving.

Fire services (Dial 911)

Fire and rescue services are provided by a volunteer fire brigade. The Canora Fire Department serves the community of Canora and portions of the surrounding rural municipalities of Keys, Good Lake and Sliding Hills. Its members conduct regular training sessions and are equipped with two pumper trucks, a freight liner pumper truck,  a water tanker and truck rescue unit.

Emergency Measures Organization

As part of the Town of Canora’s commitment to the safety and well-being of its residents, the Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) Emergency Response Plan has been in place to assess the potential hazards that are most likely to impact the community or regions at large. The plan is modified on an ongoing basis to ensure the most up to date resources and agencies are actively involved in the implementation of the plan should an emergency arise. Canora is also a participating member of the Mutual Aid District.

Mary Huebert is the volunteer coordinator for Canora’s Emergency Measures Organization. She is responsible for maintaining and updating its disaster preparedness planning and resource material. For more information about the plan, contact Mary, EMO Coordinator..
