Non-emergency options
Quieter times: If your situation is not life-threatening, mid-morning on weekdays (Tuesday through Thursday) tends to be less busy than weekends and evenings at most emergency departments. Always call 911 or go immediately for serious emergencies regardless of time.
Busier times: Emergency departments across Canada, including KBRH, typically see higher volumes on Monday mornings, Friday evenings, and throughout the weekend. Evenings after 6 PM and public holidays are also traditionally busier. For non-urgent concerns, consider waiting for a weekday morning if it is safe to do so.

Wait times are estimates based on British Columbia health data. Actual wait times may vary.
This hospital does not publish a live wait, so the figure above comes from our model rather than from its own feed. We publish how that model performs where it can be checked, at the hospitals that do publish. See the accuracy scorecard, or how we work the number out.
