Staff Contact
Our agency offices are closed to clients and staff in response to the Provincial government’s directive to reduce social contact. But we know this presents a new barrier to reaching us. With our offices being closed, we suggest you contact our team members directly by e-mail (an/or if available for that service, by cell #)
Please be patient with us. This is new for us too, and just as challenging for us to also help find the answers for the things you need, because all our partners are in the same boat of having to work from home, creating some barriers for us to reach who we sometimes need to contact on your behalf.
Staff are sorted by Office and then by Last Name within that office, showing their program/area of service, and their e-mail address.
Please note that staff will respond to contact within normal program operation hours, which for the most part is 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday. Harm Reduction has evening hours.
Harm Reduction Services
This is an essential service.
Project X –Change will CONTINUE to have office hours in the Oshawa, Whitby and Bowmanville locations. Hours for each location have been modified and are available by calling the office you choose to visit. Mobile outreach will continue across the region from Monday to Friday 6 pm to 10 pm.
