HEY 2-1-1 Directory Service

Getting to know a new area can be tricky. So can seeking out resources you haven’t ever had occasion to use before, or finding your way as a young adult. Even harder is finding yourself in a situation where you need a little help, but don’t know where to turn. A coalition consisting of Hinton, Edson and Yellowhead County municipalities is aiming to make it all a little easier.

HEY211 is an easy to use, always available directory service now available in the West Yellowhead. Simply dialing 2-1-1 from any phone line in the area, land or cellular, will connect you with a live operator who is there to help you. Also available through this new service is a 24-hour anonymous chat service, and an online directory. The service is accessible to teletype devices, and offers support for many languages.
