Hello Ward 6,
A safe community means feeling comfortable wherever you are, at all times of the day. We all deserve to feel safe, no matter where we live, work, learn, or play. This list below will help you connect to local teams that can help you when you are presented with situations that could make you feel unsafe. Save these in your contacts on your cell phone and keep a physical copy in a visible place in your home for your family.
9-1-1 Emergency: Call 9-1-1 in an emergency when there is an immediate threat to your health and/or safety. (e.g., fire, see or smell smoke, medical emergencies, crimes in progress, an accident that has caused injury, life threatening situation, etc.).
2-1-1 or Text INFO to 211 (Distress Centre): Call or text 2-1-1 for non-emergency situations that involve mental health and addiction, connection to food and basic needs, or community and social resources.
