Data on requests received at 211
211 Greater Montreal is providing access to its interactive tables on requests received by phone and email. Our goal is to facilitate access to this data to provide elected representatives and social and community organizations with a portrait of their region and enable them to respond adequately to their citizens’ needs.
Data are available by city, agglomeration and MRC. You can view the needs expressed and refine your search by gender, age and language.
Note that the data, like all datasets, are biased and do not pretend to present an exact portrait of the situation. 211 Greater Montreal nevertheless hopes that, combined with other information, this dataset will help draw a portrait of the current social and community needs.
You’ll find below some instructions on how to use the interactive tables. Please contact us at donnnes@211qc.ca if you have any questions.
