The state of ER closure reporting in Canada

Nova Scotia is currently the only Canadian province publishing real-time emergency department closure data. Saskatchewan publishes a delayed list updated twice daily, with the Saskatchewan Health Authority noting that "not all disruptions may appear immediately." Alberta publishes a temporary service disruptions report that ERstat parses for ED-affecting changes. The remaining provinces and territories have no centralized public closure feed.

ERstat tracks 822 emergency departments nationally and ingests closure data from any province that publishes it. Where no public feed exists, hospital administrators and charge nurses can submit closures directly through the ERstat hospital portal.
