Christie and Walther Communications Limited was established in 1962 by Ken Christie and Rolf Walther, primarily to provide service to various types of electronic devices, then later added the sale and rental of Motorola Two-Way radios, multiple radio repeaters and antenna sites throughout Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec.

Ken Christie is no longer involved with the company, and Rolf Walther passed away in 1988. Mrs Elfriede Walther then became President and in June 2001, Charles Walther, her son, assumed that role.

Christie and Walther is now Motorola's largest Two-Way radio dealer in Canada.
