Let's Rethink the Decision on Consumption and Treatment Sites: An Open Letter to the Premier of Ontario
Dear Premier Ford,
During the Pandemic you and your colleagues followed the research and lead from the front – not from the politicized sidelines. We need you to follow the research now.
‘Word on the street’ two potentially fatal overdoses were reversed at the CTS in Kitchener in a span of only five hours this week alone. If the facility was closed, and the proposed HART Hub precluded supervised consumption with wrap around services – including wound care, mental health supports, and referral to recovery services – those two people would likely have died, alone.
Please reverse the decision to close all CTS in the Province of Ontario.
