Township Mayor Jack Froese has been named to the Emergency Communications for B.C. (E-Comm) board of directors.
The board is comprised of 18 directors and includes elected officials, representatives of emergency services and the provincial government, in addition to municipal staff and local community and business leaders.
They were named to the 2015/16 board of directors following E-Comm’s annual general meeting on June 18.
E-Comm answers approximately 1.25 million 911 calls each year.
“Our services and scope have grown considerably over the years and we are confident that with the leadership of our board of directors, we will continue to support our mission to deliver the exceptional emergency communication services that help save lives and protect property,” said David Guscott, president and CEO of E-Comm.
Froese will represent Langley, Surrey and White Rock.
Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis was also named to the board to represent the same three municipalities.
