Harm Reduction Windsor: Resources, Windsor, ON (2026)

Many people carry naloxone to save a life.
But something most people don’t know is that it can also reverse opioid overdoses in pets.

Accidental exposure happens — dropped medication, unsafe supply in public spaces, or post-surgery reactions.

Knowing what to do could save a life. Human or animal.

A London city councillor is asking the province to review a busy Dundas Street addiction treatment clinic and pharmacy, raising concerns about a high-volume, for-profit model and its impact on the surrounding neighbourhood.

Nearby businesses say they’re seeing more loitering and public drug use, while the councillor questions whether patients are getting enough counselling and wraparound care.

Health-care providers and advocates respond that these sites are delivering prescribed, evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder and are often the only accessible care people can get. They say the long lines reflect the scale of the overdose crisis and major gaps in Ontario’s mental health, housing, and addiction system — not a problem with patients seeking treatment.

At its core, the debate is about how addiction care should be funded and delivered, and the need for more comprehensive, publicly funded supports — not whether people deserve access to life-saving medication.

Chatham‑Kent is launching a new Mobile Addictions Response Team (MART)! 🚑

The Chatham‑Kent Police Service and Chatham‑Kent Health Alliance have teamed up to start a new pilot program that helps people facing addiction and mental‑health challenges right in the community. The team includes a plain‑clothes police officer and an addictions therapist who will respond to calls, connect individuals with supports, and follow up after the initial visit. The goal is to offer faster, compassionate help and link people with treatment before issues escalate. This initiative is funded by a provincial grant and will run for up to two years while its impact is evaluated.

Pink Shirt Day started in Nova Scotia in 2007, when two students — David Shepherd and Travis Price — saw a younger student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Instead of ignoring it, they bought dozens of pink shirts and encouraged classmates to wear them in support.

By the next day, the school was filled with pink. What started as a small act of solidarity quickly became a movement across Canada and around the world.

Today, Pink Shirt Day is about standing up to bullying, lifting people up, and creating communities where kindness is louder than cruelty. 💗

If you see someone being targeted, your support — even something small — can make a huge difference.

~ Safety Should Never Be Controversial ~

This is honestly ridiculous. Alcohol is already the most accessible drug in Ontario (grocery stores, convenience stores, even ONroutes.) Expanding service hours like this while people are still fighting for access to harm reduction and lifesaving supports feels completely backwards.

If the goal is public health and community wellbeing, why is the easiest substance to access getting even easier, while safer alternatives and supports face constant barriers? 👀
