Nunavut does not have 911 service. Use the emergency contacts for your community. In Iqaluit, police are 867-979-1111 and fire/ambulance are 867-979-4422. If you do not know the local police number, the RCMP lists 1-867-979-1111 for immediate assistance; explain your location. This is a police contact, not a territory-wide ambulance line. Nunavut RCMP: emergency contacts and local police numbers · City of Iqaluit: separate police and fire/ambulance contacts.
Monica does not provide emergency care. Her messages and website forms are not continuously monitored.
For other support, contact the service directly to check hours, age or residency requirements, referral rules, costs and availability. A general office or hospital switchboard is not a guaranteed immediate assessment service. Three-digit numbers may connect to services where the caller is and may only work within that province or territory.
