Industry Canada is responsible for regulating radiocommunication in Canada and for authorizing the location of radiocommunication facilities. The Department believes that dialogue between all involved parties is essential to the orderly introduction of  radiocommunication services into a community.

The Department has developed this pamphlet to address commonly expressed concerns regarding the construction of radiocommunication antenna towers and related facilities. This pamphlet outlines requirements and procedures for:

• establishing new towers and facilities or modifications to existing ones
• land-use authority consultation
• aeronautical safety
• radio frequency field emissions
• the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act
