Question n°11

Where can I go for help or information?

 In an emergency

• Dial 0 to connect to the services you need from wherever you are

• Dial 911 to connect to the police or ambulance in your area

• Dial 411 to ask for the number of the provincial or territorial police (if your community is served by them)

You can dial these numbers free from any pay phone in the country.

If you are concerned about abuse of women, children or older adults, see the first page of your Bell telephone book for numbers to call.

Not all services are accessible to people with disabilities. If you need an accessible shelter or transition house, it is a good idea to call ahead and make sure they can meet your needs.
