About British Columbia closure data

British Columbia publishes emergency department wait time data through the provincial ED Wait Times portal, covering hospitals across the province. Closures and diversions are typically announced separately by the relevant regional health authority, including Northern Health, Interior Health, Island Health, Fraser Health, Vancouver Coastal, and Provincial Health Services Authority. There is no consolidated real-time closure feed.
