311, at your service

In late September, Toronto joined the growing list of major metropolitan areas to adopt a 311 telephone service number.

Intended for city-related non-emergency inquiries, 311 is the perfect number to call for anything related to the city. Concerned about the lack of a stop sign on your street? Want to know how to sign your kids up for swim classes at your nearest community center? Need to know what by-laws might apply if you're adding a deck to your house next summer? 311 is your magic number.

Like 911 for emergencies and 411 for directory information, 311 will provide Toronto residents with 24 hour access to city government information 7 days a week. The intent behind the service is to reduce the difficulty residents face when trying to get answers from City Hall. If you use the service, let us know how easy it was for you to get your answer!
