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.

Christie and Walther has established itself as one of the premier communication companies in North America, and regularly supplies communications for major political and sporting events, such as the APEC conference, the World Series and the Super Bowl.

In 1991, Christie and Walther personnel won an EMMY award for technical support to CBS television during the World Series.

In 1978 Metrolert Ltd. was established in Ottawa to expand our service offering into paging. Metrolert acquired V.I.P. Answering Service in 1985, and has further diversified into voice and fax mail services.

In 1983, Canpage Communications Ltd. was formed to provide paging, bilingual telephone answering, alarm monitoring and 911 fire emergency dispatch services through its offices in Cornwall and Brockville, Ontario.
