Inaugural CITIG Meeting a Success!.

The first ever Canadian Interoperability Forum was held in Toronto on October 11. It brought together more than 60 people from across Canada (and a few from the U.S.), and featured guest speakers, special presentations and provided the opportunity to announce that both the EMS Chiefs of Canada and Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs have pledged to participate in this worthwhile endeavour. Thanks to all who participated! The presentations made during the meeting can now be found on the member portion of the site.
