Dear members:
On May 28, organizations across Ontario are rallying at Queen’s Park to demand that government fund supervised consumption sites (SCS) and consumption and treatment sites (CTS) across the province. RNAO is participating in the rally.
Nearly 10 Ontarians die every day from toxic drugs. Ontario lost almost 3,800 people to this scourge in 2023. Communities are grieving. This is avoidable!
