A lot happening in #HamOnt today but want to acknowledge the important step that was taken by @TheAIDSNetwork at today's Board of Health meeting to get Council's support for an application to open a second Consumption and Treatment Site (CTS) in Ward 3. 💛

#HamOnt's board of health unanimously voted in favour of supporting @TheAIDSNetwork 's application for a second consumption and treatment services site in the city as the opioid crisis continues to escalate. trib.al/lEBVWOO

Bid for Hamilton’s second safe consumption site gets wide support torstar.co/TLr450GtLU3 Joanna Frketich reports #HamOnt

We are back in court today fighting for an interlocutory injunction to stop the eviction of encampment residents with no where to go! Stop the displacement. Stop fighting the homeless and fight the roots of homelessness #HousingCrisis OAEHomelessness The Shift

Check out this thread for clarification👇

Shame indeed on the city and everyone who helped support their case. We are at a moment in herstory where we all have the responsibility to look inwards and decide who we are and what we stand for. People make systems of oppression, and people can change them, too. Solidarity 💕

Grateful that Marcie McIlveen from HAMSMaRT and Keeping Six is invited to be part of this conversation!

Had the honor and privilege of speaking to a large group of medical residents today.. their feedback reminded me of what my purpose is.. thank you HAMSMaRT for allowing me the chance to both trust in Healthcare and in the same moment challenge it.
