Montreal to test emergency siren system at 2 p.m. Tuesday

The city of Montreal’s civil protection department will be testing its emergency siren system at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
The nine sirens, each located in factories and activated when a toxic leak has been detected, will be audible in 11 city boroughs and four neighbouring municipalities.
Residents living near the factories have already received notices of Tuesday’s test, which also includes preparedness drills for first responders. 
The exercise is carried out annually.
