"These sites are doing what they're supposed to be doing, which is preventing deaths ... potentially also doing that in a way that we haven't really thought of before ... at the community level or population level." @TheLancet study author @indhurammohan thestar.com/news/gta/heres…
Budget time is always a roller coaster, but this year, alongside @TODropinNetwork, I won something substantial: $1 million for daytime drop-ins, the most used service by unhoused people, and $400K for Creating Health +, which distributes free staple food to drop-in meal programs.
Happening now at City Hall!

Freedom of assembly and expression are protected rights under Sec. 2 of the Charter. The CCLA, OIPRD, and legal precedent have confirmed the absolute right to peaceful protest. These rights must be protected as part of our democratic system, especially in challenging times.
