Dozens bid farewell to Kitchener’s CTS site during special event Dozens of people gathered for an emotional sendoff for Kitchener’s supervised Consumption Treatment Service (CTS) site.

“We’ve become family, and it has become really difficult to let everyone go. Staff, clients – it’s hard. We’re all struggling with this – and then where do we go? What do we do now?” Wherry said. #YesToCTS

The last days of Kitchener’s supervised drug-use site As Ontario seeks to close half of its supervised drug-use sites, The Globe spoke with the clients and staff who may lose their places of support

"Rousom says that closing the Kitchener site will mean more needles in the street and more open drug use. Those who use their drugs at the site now will start using elsewhere. In other words, he says, “it’ll be the opposite of what the government’s telling you to believe.” #YesToCTS

Many fears and tears, near and far tonight, as people try to comprehend the callous disregard for life, liberty, and security of person deliberately disregarded by the Ontario's Ford government at Queen's Park today. #YesToCTS

Outside of Region of Waterloo Council last night before appealing for #emergency assistance to preserve our CTS: 125 human beings drawn in chalk, symbolizing the local death toll to date in 2024. The public can expect to see real humans dead and/or medical distress unless.. #DropTheAct #YesToCTS

Seen today in Kitchener. Expecting discomfort for everyone, everywhere. And deaths. The Ontario government is intentionally bringing discomfort to every constituent they were elected to serve and protect. #DropTheAct #YesToCTS

Rally being held to save Kitchener CTS site plus other 'under threat' services A rally is set to be held by local advocates in a push to save downtown Kitchener's CTS site, after the province tabled a bill to close 10 across Ontario.

"There is no substitute for a consumption and treatment service. It just doesn’t exist.”

See y'all on Wednesday at Regional Council. #DropTheAct #YesToCTS ✊

Guelph budgets $500K for increased ambulance demand due to safe consumption site closure Asks the County of Wellington to do the same

🧵Real-life impacts of eliminating #CTS sites:

Pay more and/or get more #EMS delays and #CodeReds (no ambulances available to respond to 911 calls).

In Guelph, $500,000 in new costs for local taxpayers, more work for EMS staff.

Drop the Act! #YesToCTS

Seen at City Hall. Substance use in public is expanding! Be sure to thank an Ontario P.C. MPP for their fact-free, opinion-based, radical drug policies. #YesToCTS
