High demand led to cutting back Calgary urgent care hours: AHS | Globalnews.caA “significant increase in demand” led to the urgent care centre at the South Calgary Health Centre to shorten the hours it opens, according to an AHS spokesperson. And increased demand for ambulances is resulting in more red alerts. YYC Maybe if the Calgary Police Service started enforcing the traffic rules we would have less collisions that require ambulances.
