A Globe investigation aims to document every instance an ER in Canada closed its doors – temporarily or permanently – since 2019

This project aims to document every instance in which a hospital emergency department (ER) in Canada closed its doors – temporarily or permanently – since 2019. For each closure, The Globe and Mail captured the ER’s name, start and end times, and the reason for the disruption.

Explore the interactive map below to browse ER closures across Canada, as compiled by The Globe and Mail.

    Look at Quebec, Ontario, and BC, and compare them to the rest of the country. There are two divides, but I’d say the divide between almost no closures and no closures is less significant than the divide between almost no closures and a lot of closures.

    I maintain that health care needs to be moved to the national level, because trying to maintain it at the provincial level clearly isn’t working.
