Emergency departments across Canada are typically busiest on Monday mornings, Friday evenings, and weekends. Evenings after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays also tend to see higher volumes as walk-in clinics close. If your situation is not an emergency, consider off-peak hours or contact your family doctor or Telehealth Ontario (1-866-797-0000) first.
Emergency departments use triage — patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.
