Reaching the SVPS Centre by phone
This number connects to each of our locations.
Our team is available to respond from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday (9 a.m. – 5 p.m. from September to June). If you call during a time when we are away from the phone, busy on another call, or after hours, you will be asked to leave a voicemail.
When leaving us a voicemail, you do not need to provide many details. We need your first name, a number where we can reach you, and a preferred time for us to call you. We also need to know whether we can leave you a voicemail if you do not answer our call. We recognize that not all voicemails are private. If we do not have your explicit permission to leave a voicemail, we will not leave one. We will call you back at another time.
Reaching the SVPS Centre by email
Generally, if we receive your call or email during our operating hours, we will respond back the same day. We have a commitment to respond to all requests within two business days. Additionally, we do not have a wait list for appointments. We will request your availability and offer you the next available appointment.
