Just like dialing 411 (or 911), you can now dial 211 and get connected with appropriate community services.

While there are excellent community programs available, many people have difficulty finding the services they need. Service providers also face challenges trying to locate appropriate community services for their clients.

BC211 and United Way are very pleased to announce that Lower Mainland residents are now able to access 211 services that provide an easy entry point for people looking for help, 24/7, 365 days of the year. Thanks to ongoing funding from United Way of the Lower Mainland, BC211 provides 211 services for communities in the Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley and Squamish-Lillooet Regional Districts.
