Coquitlam Coun. Brent Asmundson will sit on the board of directors for E-Comm this year.
The board, which is made up of 19 elected officials, representatives of emergency services and the provincial government along with community and business leaders, made its 2019/’20 appointments this week.
E-Comm is the first point of contact for 911 callers for 25 regional districts in British Columbia. It provides dispatch services to 70 police agencies and fire departments.
Asmundson will represent Coquitlam, Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Belcarra on the board.
“From readying a new consolidated 911/police dispatch centre on southern Vancouver Island to approving our new strategic plan… 2018 was a year of new beginnings for E-Comm,” said Oliver Grüter-Andrew, E-Comm president and CEO in a press release. “As we celebrate our 20th year of operations, we look forward to continuing to enhance our efforts to deliver top-quality public safety communications services to first responders and the citizens of British Columbia.”
