đ¨ Media Statement: CTS Closures in Ottawa
Over the weekend, news broke that funding for Consumption and Treatment Sites (CTS) in Ottawa will be cut starting this June.
At Cornerstone, we are deeply concerned.
Closing them will have real consequences:
â ď¸ Increased health risks
â ď¸ Greater strain on emergency services
â ď¸ Increased stigma for people who use drugs
These sites are more than services â they are lifelines. They connect people to care, reduce harm, and create pathways to housing, stability, and healing.
