It can be confusing to know which “-1-1” number to call when you need assistance, so we hope this graphic will help! We’ve included a few situational examples below.
And remember, if you require urgent medical care, or if you fear for your immediate safety, you should always call 9-1-1.
Note there is also the Vancouver Police Non-Emergency line: (604) 717-3321. Use this number for after-hours noise complaints, a crime that is not currently in progress, or other non-emergency matters requiring police attention.
Brightside welcomes a new addition to the Team
We are privileged to introduce the newest addition to the Brightside team, Susan Moore – our new Director of Community Engagement and Resident Support.

No stranger to Brightside, Susan has worked alongside our organization for many years through her work at the BC Association of Community Response Networks and the West End Seniors Network. She brings a vast depth of experience in community development and support. In time, Susan looks forward to meeting the many wonderful residents of Brightside.
