About Alberta closure data

Alberta Health Services publishes real-time emergency department wait time data covering most major Alberta ERs. However, AHS does not publish a dedicated real-time closure feed. When emergency departments close or experience service disruptions, announcements typically come through AHS press releases, regional health communications, and local media coverage.

Publisher: Alberta Health Services
Publishing method: Wait time portal, no dedicated closure feed
