Best Times to Visit

🟢 Quieter times

Emergency departments tend to be less busy in the early morning hours between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. on weekdays. If your concern is non-emergency urgent care, the on-campus UPCC (open 11 a.m.–10 p.m. daily) is often a faster alternative to the main ER.

🔴 Busier times

Like most Canadian ERs, Ridge Meadows Hospital's emergency department tends to be busiest on evenings, weekends, and holidays when family doctors' offices are closed. Monday mornings can also be congested. For non-urgent matters, the on-campus UPCC may be a better option during peak hours.
