In a shocking announcement, Toronto’s chief medical officer is sounding the alarm about the potential closure of five supervised drug sites this spring. Drastic measures like these could trigger a devastating surge in overdoses across our vibrant city. It's time for us to come together and take action to advocate for these essential services that save lives and promote community health.

Supervised drug sites are not just facilities; they are lifelines. They provide safe environments for substance users to consume drugs under medical supervision, drastically reducing the chances of fatal overdoses and connecting individuals to critical health resources. These centers reflect our compassion and commitment to public health. Without them, we risk exacerbating an already concerning crisis.

We cannot stand by; we must support these vital resources! It’s crucial that we engage in conversations about harm reduction and advocate for policies that prevent closures of life-saving services. As community leaders, we have a unique platform to raise awareness about the realities many individuals face regarding substance use and addiction.
