Published Sources reviewed Content updated Next review due
THE SHORT ANSWER

311 is a starting point for non-emergency City service requests. Use the contact page for the city responsible for the location.

Why it matters

Nearby cities have different contact arrangements. The same three digits do not guarantee identical hours or routing.

Brampton

The City lists 311 and, from outside Brampton, 905-874-2000. Regular customer service runs daily from 7 a.m. to midnight. Between midnight and 7 a.m., calls are reserved for urgent inquiries; routine requests can use the online service or app.

[1]

Toronto

Toronto lists round-the-clock customer service. Within city limits, dial 311; from outside Toronto, use 416-392-2489. Its service also supports online requests and tracking. Keep the reference number so you can follow up on the same case.

[2]

Mississauga

The City lists weekday service from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., excluding holidays. Its outside-city number is 905-615-4311. Near a boundary, a call may reach a neighbouring municipality; ask for a transfer or use the full number.

Before you submit

Record the exact location and a short description, check the relevant City page and keep your confirmation number. A request being logged does not mean the work is complete. Routing and response time depend on the issue.
