WINNIPEG - The next time you need to know: if there is an overnight parking ban in your area or what day it is in the garbage day and school day cycle, or even if you need to report a bad pothole on your street, or to get a city regulation clarified, who are you going to call? With over 500 telephone numbers listed to access city services, finding the right number to call has been a challenge – until now.
Winnipeg’s new 311 telephone service began operating on January 16. The system is designed to give Winnipeggers a single number to call for information about all things civic and to lighten the load of 911 emergency operators who, in the past, were often overburdened with non-urgent and even trivial calls.
