Newcomer questions

I recently moved and am building a checklist. Which provincial, city or settlement resources should be reviewed first?

For urgent symptoms, contact 811 or emergency services rather than waiting for a community reply.

I had better luck calling early in the day, although availability varies by clinic

Call before travelling because intake status and hours can change quickly.

I found it useful to keep a dated list of every clinic or program contacted, including whether the answer was accepting, waitlist or not accepting.
