Street Health Overdose Prevention Site

09/02/2025

Every day we remember the people we have lost to preventable overdoses and stand in solidarity with those who have been affected by this ongoing public health crisis. We know that the closures of safe consumption sites have created an even more challenging landscape. The impacts are being felt profoundly in our community.

On Friday hosted an event for community members to come together and honor the memory of those we have lost. We trained people on naloxone and using a BVM and handed out many of both.

We are here for people who use drugs, today and every day. We have hope, and we will not stop fighting for a world without preventable overdose deaths.

On June 27, 2018, our Overdose Prevention Site opened its doors to clients with six months of funding from the Kathleen Wynne government and a dream of providing low barrier supervised consumption services to Street Health's existing clients. Seven years later we are one of only four remaining sites in the city. We have hosted over 14 500 visits and reversed over 350 overdoses onsite. We have laughed, we have cried, we have resuscitated people in full PPE during a global pandemic. We have managed to stay open with (shamefully) no government funding through donations only (link in bio - we need your support!).

We know that harm reduction saves lives and people who use drugs deserve the same kindness, compassion, chance at a good life, and access to healthcare as everyone else - whether they are interested in treatment or not. We will keep fighting for a fairer and more compassionate world for people who use substances and for all people. #

In August, the Ontario government announced their plans to close half of the Consumption and Treatment Services (CTS) across the province. Closing these ten sites will exacerbate the ongoing toxic drug poisoning crisis, leading to countless preventable deaths. We desperately need a multi-pronged approach to ending the overdose crisis in this province that includes harm reduction and access to evidence-based treatment.

Please join in demanding that these sites stay open on Monday, October 21st at Queen’s Park at noon.

Please sponsor our walk to fund Street Health services if you are able. Providing low barrier, client centred healthcare to folks in Toronto's downtown east - our OPS, in particular, receives $0 in government funds and really needs the support:

The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly walk to raise money for local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. Team up, fundraise, walk, and look closer... because it’s cold out there.
