I can't speak for your neck of the woods, as this is the Pacific/Praries forum, try asking in the Atlantic and Maritime - The RadioReference.com Forums you should have more luck there, hfchris is usually very helpful with these questions

Hi zuess09

It depends entirely on what you wanted to listen to. If you're content with just listening to the local fire departments, you can get away with a basic analog scanner, such as the GRE PSR-100.
If you want to listen to things like ambulance (EHS) dispatching, you will need a scanner that supports trunking, such as the GRE PSR-300 or Uniden BC346XT.
If you want to listen to RCMP, you will need a digital trunking scanner, such as the GRE PSR-500 or Uniden BCD396XT.
