Itment on their behalf. Thank you!

How do I book an appointment?

To book quickly and easily schedule online, please visit our online booking system that is available. While booking online is the fastest way to schedule an appointment, residents who require support can also call 311.
Please only call 311 if you are currently eligible and require support so we can ensure residents who need this service have access.
Please do not call clinics directly and bookings are not available through the Provincial system; if you access the Provincial system, you will be redirected back to our online booking system.
If you have already booked an appointment, you can now check and confirm your appointment details online.

I cannot thank you all enough for your commitment to protecting the health and safety of our community.
