Canada’s Amber Alert systems were modeled after those in the United States, and came into effect after much public interest from community organizations, including Victims of Violence and Canadian provincial governments, after the publicity and success of the program in the United States. It was understood that in order to be successful, the system would need to be adopted in all provinces. Alberta was the first to implement the system in December of 2002; Followed by Ontario in early January 2003. All other Canadian provinces have since adopted AMBER Alert, the latest being British Columbia and Nova Scotia in May of 2004.
