In 2023, the provincial government made a significant leadership investment to extend cellular
service in the Juan de Fuca region along the south coast of Vancouver Island in partnership
with Rogers Communications Inc. (Rogers). This was a game changer for public safety along
this well-traveled, Highway 14 corridor between Sooke and Port Renfrew as it enabled CREST
to enter into a co-location agreement with Rogers improving public safety coverage for first
responders on the dedicated CREST network.
CREST’s network utilization data capturing January 2024, through to November 2024, shows the Juan de Fuca region with high network utilization activity in the Capital Region.
On behalf of everyone at CREST, and the emergency response and public service people who rely on the CREST network every day to keep themselves and the citizens of the area safe, we offer our gratitude to our former Premier who left us far too soon.
