New emergency phone number for Nunavut
Nunavummiut can now choose between two numbers when phoning
for help from the RCMP, depending on whether the call is an emergency.
For emergencies, residents should dial the regular first three digits of their
community's phone numbers, followed by 1111. For example, if someone is being
attacked in Cape Dorset, the caller phones 897-1111.
In non-emergency situations, such as a window being broken, or a bike being
stolen, residents should call the first three digits of their community's phone
numbers, followed by 0123. For example, if someone finds their skidoo is missing
in Cambridge Bay, the caller phones 983-0123.10
