We are pleased to announce that the OCC will be migrating to new toll-free numbers on April 27, 2019 at 1830 EST.
Over the last year, Ornge’s Operations Control Centre (OCC) has taken a close look at its telephone routing and how it can be enhanced to provide better service for stakeholders. The goal has been to improve communications, stakeholder experience, modernize our legacy technology, and ensure an effective and efficient telephone system.
With this in mind, we are pleased to announce that the OCC will be migrating to new toll-free numbers on April 27, 2019 at 1830 EST.
Based on feedback, our stakeholders will now be able to make an appropriate selection on the type of inquiry/support they require. Below you will find the appropriate contact telephone numbers for the OCC. Please ensure to listen carefully to all options available:
