Feature Story: 211 Saskatchewan

Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, in over 100 languages (including 17 Indigenous languages), 211 provides quick and easy access to those requiring assistance. Calls to 211 are answered by certified information and referral specialists, who assess the needs of each caller and link them to the best available information and services by consulting a comprehensive, searchable database of over 5,000 government, and community based health and social services. 211 is now more accessible for everyone in our province and offers phone, text, online web chat and email services to help people in Saskatchewan find and navigate services.

211 also offers many benefits to community service providers across the province. Service providers are often the first point of contact and can be inundated by calls and inquires from those looking for help. 211 can help reduce the time spent fielding inappropriate inquires and can be an easy way to ensure that a misdirected caller can still get the information they need. Front-line staff may appreciate spending less time looking for resources, increase accuracy of information that is verified annually and learn about new services or program closures.
