If you find yourself phoning southern Ontario the odd time, you might be using a new area code in the fall.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) says on October 16 it’ll introduce 742, added to areas served already by codes 289, 365, and 905.
The government says it’s to meet growing demand for new numbers, but won’t affect other numbers.

Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
