This past Friday, the Collective Grief Initiative held a Celebration of Life at Centre 454. Created in the wake of COVID-19, CGI brings together local non-profits to create memorials that offer space to mourn, honour, and humanize those we’ve lost. These gatherings also shine a light on the frequent and preventable deaths among people experiencing homelessness, including those connected to the toxic drug crisis. Rest in peace to everyone we’ve lost. We’ll never forget you.

Today is Indigenous Veterans Day, an important day to recognize and honour the contributions and sacrifices of Indigenous Peoples in Canada’s military history. Their service is often overlooked, and many faced discrimination and mistreatment. We encourage you to visit the National Aboriginal Veterans Monument here in Ottawa to pay your respects and reflect on their legacy.

We’re excited to highlight our partnership with Life Process Program! Many of our peers have been trained as recovery coaches and are now supporting clients across our units and programs. LPP sees substance use as an adaptive response, not a disease, and focuses on choice, empowerment, and personal goals. Our peers help participants move at their own pace and create a path forward that works for them.

Ottawa Inner City Health CEO Rob Boyd and Dr. Andew Wilmore were please to host Dr. Zainab Abdurrahman, OMA President and Dr. Anmar Salman, District 8 Chair to Ottawa Inner City Health.

In true OICH style we had a “walking meeting” as we toured through our shelter based and street outreach programs while we exchanged ideas about working with marginalized populations within the overall context of the health care crisis in Ontario.

Thank you Dr. Abdurrahman for your interest in our work and for understanding that you “need to go there, to know there!”
