Hello, Just wanted to inform you that the British Columbia's Legislative Frequencies are not accurate cause I stayed next to the building for five nights and never heard a thing from the two frequencies that were listed. Maybe they did a upgrade lately. Just thought I would let you know.
British Columbia's Legislative Building Frequencies

Did you hear any digital noise on there at all? The legislature is not currently in session so perhaps they aren't as active.
I see the following in the TAFL;
460.5625 repeater
464.625 simplex
461.0125 repeater

Hello dwc,
Did not hear anything from the 460.5625 or the 461.01250. I stayed at The Embassy Hotel, a couple of years age and listen to them. Then we stayed at the Hotel Grand Pacific for five nights and never heard anything. I don't believe Canada has a published DOC listings, correct me if I am wrong, like the FCC has here in the States. But I am just letting you know that the listings on Radio Reference are not accurate.

ISED(formerly IC and before that DOC) DOES publish around 90% of frequency assignments. ISED does offer what is known as ‘protected status’ for qualifying licensees(public safety) where those licenses/assignments are not published.

When I made reference to the TAFL in my previous post, that is what we Canadians refer to as the Technical and Administrative Frequency List published by ISED (formerly IC and DOC). This is the equivalent frequency database that the FCC publishes.
For future reference, you can search the TAFL

Anyway, I will see if we can have someone verify the frequencies when the legislature is back in session.
Cheers,

I was just in Victoria yesterday and both 460.5625 and 461.0125 are active and they are DMR.
460.5625 is encrypted DMR
461.0125 was associated with the Royal BC Museum, for outside perimeter patrols. Inside the building uses a different frequency so I personally can't confirm if it still is. It is definitely active in DMR mode though.
464.625 used to be the primary frequency used by the Legislature but haven't heard any activity in recent years, was active when I lived in Victoria, and I assumed that it has been replaced with 460.5625 . I still have 464.625 programmed in and have not heard any activity on there personally.

Thank you for confirming the switch over to DMR. I'm sure changes will be forthcoming shortly.
For the original poster, thanks for drawing our attention to a change that needs to be made.
Yeah thanks Rob.
