Since many Ontario safe consumption sites closed in March, drop-ins across Toronto have seen a sharp rise in overdoses. June 2025 saw a 288 percentage increase in overdoses in the Toronto Drop-In Network.

Communities need action! 

Join us to mark International Overdose Awareness Day 2025 with a BBQ, art and music, a grief circle and more. We’ll also have education sessions on overdose responses and psychosis supports.
