We had a great time meeting everyone recently at the Canada Career Fair! At OICH, we do health care differently: nurse‑led, trauma‑informed, harm‑reduction focused, and rooted in dignity. If you’re passionate about health equity, we’re building a pool for current and future roles. For more info, check out oich.ca/join-our-team!

It is the World Day of Social Justice and health equity IS social justice. In 2025, our consumption and treatment service, The Trailer, supported our community through almost 40,000 visits, which averages out to more than 100 a day. Healthcare comes in many forms, and supervised consumption is healthcare.

Stand with us in advocating for supervised consumption, which remains at risk.

Want to learn more about the challenges facing harm reduction right now? The HIV Legal Network recently hosted an important webinar: “Hard Time for Harm Reduction: Saving Supervised Consumption”

Last week, we welcomed MSW students from Carleton University’s School of Social Work for a field trip! It was an amazing afternoon of honest conversations, shared learning, and connecting over what community mental health looks like on the ground. Thank you so much for coming by and spending time with us. And a special thanks to Professor Brenda Morris for coordinating the visit. We hope to see more students again soon!

Our office has officially turned into a work and watch zone today because Team Canada is playing the USA in women’s hockey! If you’re wondering who the bobblehead is, that’s Brianne Jenner, our unofficial office morale booster and today’s acting captain for Team Canada while Marie Philip-Poulin is out with an injury. We’re cheering loud over here! Go Canada go!!! ❤️🤍🇨🇦

Some of our team had the pleasure of attending a beautiful gratitude centered sound bath this past weekend! Held in a space of stillness and appreciation, the session blended crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other sacred healing instruments to guide us into harmony, openness, and deep inner peace. Thanks to Soul Space Ottawa for making this happen!
