Emergency departments across Ontario — including this one — tend to see the highest volumes on Monday mornings, weekend evenings, and holidays. If your condition is not an emergency, avoiding these peak periods when possible may reduce your wait.
Emergency departments use triage — patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.
Wait times are estimates based on Ontario health data using historical volumes, current patient counts, and staffing. Actual wait times may vary.
