The 2009 Blue Pages in the City of Edmonton Telus phone book will list 311 as the number to call for most City of Edmonton services.
Before the creation of 311, the City had a number of smaller call centres including the Citizen Action Centre phone lines, Transit Information, Planning and Development, roadway maintenance and drainage operations. Some of these call centres were already offering 24 hour service.
Creating a 311 service provided the opportunity for citizens to access all City of Edmonton information 24 hours a day, offering a more comprehensive and cost effective service to citizens.
Calgary, Laval, Gatineau, Montreal, Toronto and several other smaller centres also offer 311 service.
All other locations previously offering in-person service are still open during regular business hours including:
Edmonton Transit Customer Service,

Planning and Development,
