July 22, 1998
CRTC DOCUMENTATION CENTRE
OPENS IN TORONTO
OTTAWA-HULL — On Monday, 27 July 1998, the CRTC will open the doors to
its new documentation centre located at 55 St. Clair Avenue East, Suite 624 in
Toronto. Initially, the hours of operation will be from 9:00 a.m. to noon and
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This will allow our Toronto and Southern Ontario clients,
including industry players and the general public, direct access to a variety of current
CRTC files and documents.
Documents and services available
The new centre will provide access to a number of documents and applications that are
currently being considered by the Commission, either under the broadcasting or the
telecommunications regime. Specifically, clients will be able to browse through items of
national significance, as well as applications that are specific to the Greater Toronto or
Southern Ontario areas. Although the new facility will not usually hold any historical
information, or applications from other areas of the country, such information will be
made available, upon request, within 48 hours.
Facilities will include a library-type area where clients can browse
through documents, or access our web site through available computers. If information is
needed on particular files or processes, it will be available through direct access to the
Commission's toll-free line at 1-877-249-CRTC (2782) or through our web site at
http://www.crtc.gc.ca. A printing plant located a few floors down from the centre will
offer services that will be billed directly to the clients.
Reaching out
In light of the numerous public hearings scheduled to take place this fall, this
documentation centre will provide the public with easier access to the records of these
proceedings. If this experimental service proves to be successful, the Commission hopes to
provide similar facilities in other areas of the country.
