Massive prevention and harm reduction investments make Ontario one of the safest road jurisdictions in North America.

Weak - and declining - investments in preventing drug poisoning deaths are reflected in the Coroner data.

So many deaths, so many injuries, so little action. #Priorities

Rafi, our coordinator, deputed in regards to the City budget. We need to fund long-term solutions to the housing & food insecurity crisis, NOT spend millions on evicting encampments: a tactic to displace people, cause harm, & invisibilize homelessness. 👇🏼

We send HOT meals to encampments across the city, and open up our indoor space for guests to dine in.

As we look into 2025, we are excited and honoured to keep this program going but are urgently looking for partners who can support us financially to continue this work we do. Would you consider?

Wonderful op-ed today from Councillor Alejandra Bravo in TO. There is no quick fix to homelessness, but we need a compassionate, "all-in" approach that respects people's human rights and provides the evidence-based solutions that are proven to work. This is the way. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
My family needed the shelter system when we arrived in Toronto. Today the need is greater than ever. Doug Ford needs to quit sweeping it under the rug
Thousands of Torontonians need shelter. Simply moving them won't help.

The city estimates ripping up bike lanes on Yonge, Bloor Street & University would cost Ontario taxpayers $48 million, on top of the $27 million spent installing the lanes. Factor in new infrastructure for backup routes & it’s well over $100 million! www.thestar.com/news/gta/rem... #topoli #bikeTO
