Register with Canada VRSEmergency: Text with 9-1-1
If you are Deaf, hard of hearing or speech-impaired, you can text with 9-1-1. You must register with your wireless carrier first. In an emergency you still dial 9-1-1; the call centre then texts you.
On October 3, 2026, the official Text with 9-1-1 site still listed the service as available across Ontario and Quebec. Canada is moving 9-1-1 to a new network, and this texting service will be replaced. Check the official site before you count on it.
