Please protest the de-funding of Ontario’s supervised consumption sites by completing this e-action

October 7, 2024

The evidence is resounding: supervised consumption sites save lives and support our healthcare system.

Supervised consumption sites (SCS) bring drug use indoors and offer sterile supplies and compassionate care. They limit the spread of HIV and Hepatitis C, reducing the strain on our healthcare system. They reduce 911 calls and visits to emergency departments. They lower drug use in nearby parks, streets, and transit. And they connect people to health and social services.

Against the robust evidence that SCS save lives and healthcare dollars, Doug Ford prioritized stigma, ideology, and anecdote in his decision to close 10 sites across Ontario.

Add your voice to the chorus fighting to support and expand harm reduction.
