For the second time this year, the CRTC will be conducting a test of its new public alert system that sends alerts to our smartphones warning of Amber Alerts, natural disasters, or other catastrophic threats.
The test message will be sent to our phones at 1:55 p.m. this afternoon.
An initial test in May failed in many regions of the country due to technical issues.
