On October 15, United Way Centraide Canada announced the expansion of 211 across the country through an investment from the Emergency Community Support Fund by the Government of Canada. The investment has enabled United Way Centraide Canada, through its network of 211 partners, to increase the capacity of existing 211 services and make 211 fully available nationwide. 211 Service is now available in all three Territories, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador as well as expanded services in the province of Quebec and the addition of telephone service for the province of Manitoba.
