Windsor Regional Problem Gambling Services is celebrating 10 years of service for Essex County residents and you’re invited.

From humble beginnings in 1994 with a single office operated by the Canadian Foundation on Compulsive Gambling, our services now occupy 3200 square feet of space in the office tower of Market Square with a staff of eight highly skilled professionals funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care through Windsor Regional Hospital.

Windsor Regional Problem Gambling Services has become an integral part of Essex County’s addiction system and is a strong advocate for residents with gambling related problems and needs.

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are hosting an Open House and invite you to visit our location and meet the staff. Front line counsellors will be available to describe our services and if requested, to confidentially discuss any concerns or answer any questions you may have. Remember, "What’s said here, stays here." A light lunch and refreshments will be provided as our way of saying "Thank You" for all your support over the last 10 years.

When: January 30, 11:00 A.M. – 4:00 P.M.

Where: 2109 Ottawa Street, Suite 401
(use main entrance on Ottawa Street and
take the elevator to the fourth floor)

Hope you are able to join us.

Bill Marcotte
Director of Operations, Mental Health, Addictions & Geriatric Support
