Staff Contact
- As of MAY 2021 we have a new phone system
- It enables you to reach any of our staff, no matter which office number you call!
- Using the Direct Dial number listed below, you can call, fax or text any specific staff person and they will receive your contact anywhere they may be working from.
Currently our agency offices are closed to clients, except for Harm Reduction.
Please be patient with us. This is 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.
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. Please call:
Project X-Change Outreach: 905-440-5410
