OTTAWA — Regions around the nation’s capital and Montreal will have new numbers to remember next summer as two new area codes are introduced.
The 613 area code, which stretches across many eastern Ontario communities — including Ottawa, Kingston, Brockville, Cornwall, Belleville and Bancroft — will now share space with a new 343 area code. The changes will begin on May 17, 2010, with the new area code introduced into existing 613 regions.
Near Montreal, the 450 area code, which has only been in use since 1998, will get some relief from a new 579 area code.
The 450 region encompasses areas such as Laval, Quebec’s north and south shores, Lanaudiere, Monteregie, the Richelieu Valley and some parts of the Laurentians and Estrie.
The changes will start on Aug. 21, 2010 in that region.
Both the 613 and 450 area codes, however, will continue to be distributed until capacity is reached.
The need for new area codes, which come after a ruling from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, are a result of increased demand for new phone numbers for personal and commercial wireless services and Internet connections.
New area codes have been introduced in a number of Canadian regions in the last year.
Last September, parts of Alberta began using the 587 area code, while in June 2008, the 581 area code was brought in to serve parts of Quebec that fell under the 418 area code.
