This past week, we’ve seen multiple Torontonians overdosing on our streets. This is unacceptable. We need a compassionate plan that will help those suffering from addiction get well and recover.
We are calling for a 50% Surge in Recovery Capacity immediately, not in 2030. The City must add 400 recovery beds and outpatient slots in the first year, and eliminate user fees for publicly funded treatment beds, topping up funding where necessary.
Encampments are unsafe for residents and for the people living in them, so when a safe shelter or recovery bed exists, the City must clear encampments within 48 hours. As well, the City must provide transport, ID support, case management, and storage of belongings to ensure dignified transitions.
If you agree, make your voice heard. Sign the petition today.
