Ambulance Communication Services (ACS)
Dispatching of ambulances is done through Central Ambulance Communication Centres, or CACC. The service provider is the entity that controls the CACC. For example, Toronto and Ottawa self-dispatch and run their own CACCs whereas Hamilton and Cambridge CACCs are run by the Ministry of Health (Provincial Government).
