Niagara Health says this is happening tomorrow in Fort Erie due to shortage of staff, regular hours will resume the next day

A temporary change to the hours of the Fort Erie Urgent Care Centre this weekend.

Niagara Health says it'll open late at 4pm tomorrow, and close at 8pm, resuming regular hours on Sunday.

This is due to the shortage of doctors to cover all shifts, despite strong efforts to bring more doctors, including extra incentives.

Niagara Health encourages everyone to visit the centre's website to confirm hours, and consider other options.

For non emergencies head to a family doctor, community health centre or walk in clinic.
