📅 February 11 is 211 Day, and across Canada, the United Way Centraide network plays a leading role in raising awareness of this essential service.

As a founding partner of 211 in Canada, we provide sustained funding and advocacy to strengthen the service year after year. Many local UWCs also manage or operate 211 directly at provincial and regional levels.

On 211 Day, we support a call to action for increased, sustainable funding so everyone in Canada has access to the help they need. Learn how 211 helps your community, visit 211.ca

The City Hall and Springer Market Square will be illuminated in red and white for 211 Day. You can use this opportunity to raise awareness of this valuable service in the community. 211 Connects Kingston residents to a full range of non-emergency community, social, government and health service information, including employment and job skills, parenting and child care, and support for seniors. 211 is free, confidential, and multilingual.Â
