阅读了解更多有关安大略省阿片类药物过量危机, 第 223 号法案的通过, 以及关闭 SCS 对毒品使用者和社区的影响。

根据《权利与自由宪章》第7条，人人享有生命权、自由权和人身安全权。 第 223 号法案将阻止毒品使用者获得挽救生命的阿片类药物过量干预措施，是对这一权利的侵犯。

请考虑采取行动抗议该法案，并提高人们对其危害的认识。

The recent passing of Bill 223 by the Ontario government will result in the closure of 10 safe consumption sites (SCS) in Ontario by March 31, 2025.  There are negative perceptions about SCS in society, due largely to stigma about drugs and people who use drugs (PWUD).  Many viewpoints about SCS are based in myths and the above slides aim to address them.  Please read the above slides and consider sharing them within your social circles and communities.

Read the above slides to learn more about the opioid overdose crisis in Ontario, the passing of Bill 223 and the impact SCS closures will have on people who use drugs and the community.

According to the Section 7 of Charter of Rights and Freedoms which states, EVERYONE has the right to life, liberty and security of the person. Bill 223, which will stop people who use drugs from accessing life-saving opioid overdose interventions, is a violation of this right.

Please consider taking action to protest this bill and raise awareness for the harms it will cause.

大麻食品很受欢迎，因为它们的兴奋度被认为更深、持续时间更长，并有助于减轻疼痛、焦虑和促进放松的社交活动。以饼干、巧克力蛋糕、软糖、苏打水甚至沙拉等主食的形式出现，是一种美味的享受！不过，由于它们的药效开始时间较长，而且药性较强，如果不小心食用，很容易产生潜在的负面影响。目前还没有食用过量导致死亡的报道，从技术上讲，你也不会 "过量 "食用大麻。不过，大麻 "中毒 "也是有可能的，当你摄入的量会导致不舒服，有时甚至是可怕的感觉。以上下就是一些预防措施！

On June 25, the hosted an HIV self-test kit workshop and Pride portrait shoot at . It was a resounding success with participants being able to ask questions about HIV, including myths (for example, that HIV can be spread by mosquitoes), learn how to use an HIV self-testing kit and take HIV self-testing kits home. Participants also got their photos taken in the village wearing their most colourful pride outfits. HIV self-testing kits are available at (if you would like to get some please email harmreduction@acas.org), readytoknow.ca and getakit.ca. They are easy to use and a great way to test in the privacy of your own home and skip line-ups at the clinic. Consider adding HIV self-testing to your sexual health routine.
