Additionally, our exemption under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), which legally permits supervised consumption services, expires on this date. Without this exemption and necessary funding, we are unable to continue operations in their current format despite the temporary injunction.\r\n\r\nWe find the judge\'s acknowledgment of the potential harm caused by these closures hopeful. However, the situation is complex. The absence of provincial funding and the expiration of our CDSA exemption present significant barriers to maintaining services.\r\n\r\nSanguen remains <strong>absolutely committed</strong> to re-establishing fully funded and legally exempt supervised consumption facilities in our community. These services are integral to harm reduction efforts aimed at mitigating overdose risks and are a fundamental component of the healthcare we believe everyone is entitled to. While we would reopen immediately if we had the necessary exemption, facility, and funding, we will continue working diligently to restore these critical services, should the legal challenge ultimately prove successful.\r\n\r\nIn the interim, Sanguen remains steadfast in our dedication to harm reduction and community support. We will persist in providing outreach, primary care, peer support, and overdose prevention training to those in need.\r\n\r\nFor updates on available services and our ongoing efforts, please visit <a href=\"http://sanguen.com\">www.sanguen.com</a>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[/av_one_full]'),

For years, our programs have worked to bridge gaps in healthcare, harm reduction, and social services, ensuring that those most at risk receive the support they need.\r\n\r\nNow, for the first time, we are proud to share our <strong>2024 Community Impact Report</strong>—a reflection of the work, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped the past year. This report tells the story of Sanguen’s impact in Waterloo Region and Guelph/Wellington: from expanding life-saving overdose prevention initiatives and harm reduction education to strengthening outreach efforts through our Community Health Vans and peer-led programming.\r\n\r\nInside, you’ll find not only the numbers that define our reach but also the stories behind them—the individuals, partners, and frontline teams who make our work possible. With growing systemic challenges, policy shifts, and funding uncertainties, this report also serves as a call to action: to continue advocating for harm reduction, investing in solutions that work, and ensuring that healthcare remains accessible to all, no matter their circumstances.\r\n\r\nWe invite you to explore the <strong>2024 Community Impact Report</strong> and celebrate the resilience of our communities, the dedication of our staff, and the power of harm reduction in action. Together, we can build a future where no one is left behind.\r\n\r\n<strong>Read the full report <a href=\"https://2025.sanguen.com/community-impact-report/\">here:</a></strong>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"></h2>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[/av_two_third][av_hr class=\'invisible\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' position=\'center\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' height=\'50\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_icon_color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-65gfpy\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_one_third first min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'av-align-top\' space=\'\' row_boxshadow=\'\' row_boxshadow_color=\'\' row_boxshadow_width=\'10\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_column_order=\'\' min_col_height=\'\' padding=\'\' svg_div_top=\'\' svg_div_top_color=\'#333333\' svg_div_top_width=\'100\' svg_div_top_height=\'50\' svg_div_top_max_height=\'none\' svg_div_top_flip=\'\' svg_div_top_invert=\'\' svg_div_top_front=\'\' svg_div_top_opacity=\'\' svg_div_top_preview=\'\' svg_div_bottom=\'\' svg_div_bottom_color=\'#333333\' svg_div_bottom_width=\'100\' svg_div_bottom_height=\'50\' svg_div_bottom_max_height=\'none\' svg_div_bottom_flip=\'\' svg_div_bottom_invert=\'\' svg_div_bottom_front=\'\' svg_div_bottom_opacity=\'\' svg_div_bottom_preview=\'\' border=\'\' border_style=\'solid\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'\' column_boxshadow=\'\' column_boxshadow_color=\'\' column_boxshadow_width=\'10\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' background_gradient_color1=\'#000000\' background_gradient_color2=\'#ffffff\' background_gradient_color3=\'\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' highlight=\'\' highlight_size=\'\' animation=\'\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' title_attr=\'\' alt_attr=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' mobile_col_pos=\'0\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' aria_label=\'\' av_uid=\'av-3mfh1i\' sc_version=\'1.0\']\r\n[av_image src=\'https://2025.sanguen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/sanguen-logosm.png\' attachment=\'330\' attachment_size=\'full\' copyright=\'\' caption=\'\' image_size=\'\' styling=\'\' align=\'center\' font_size=\'\' overlay_opacity=\'0.4\' overlay_color=\'#000000\' overlay_text_color=\'#ffffff\' animation=\'no-animation\' hover=\'\' appearance=\'\' link=\'\' target=\'\' title_attr=\'\' alt_attr=\'\' img_scrset=\'\' lazy_loading=\'disabled\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_element_hidden_in_editor=\'0\' av_uid=\'av-38c55i\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\'][/av_image]\r\n[/av_one_third]\r\n\r\n[av_two_third min_height=\'\' vertical_alignment=\'av-align-top\' space=\'\' row_boxshadow=\'\' row_boxshadow_color=\'\' row_boxshadow_width=\'10\' custom_margin=\'\' margin=\'0px\' mobile_breaking=\'\' mobile_column_order=\'\' min_col_height=\'\' padding=\'\' svg_div_top=\'\' svg_div_top_color=\'#333333\' svg_div_top_width=\'100\' svg_div_top_height=\'50\' svg_div_top_max_height=\'none\' svg_div_top_flip=\'\' svg_div_top_invert=\'\' svg_div_top_front=\'\' svg_div_top_opacity=\'\' svg_div_top_preview=\'\' svg_div_bottom=\'\' svg_div_bottom_color=\'#333333\' svg_div_bottom_width=\'100\' svg_div_bottom_height=\'50\' svg_div_bottom_max_height=\'none\' svg_div_bottom_flip=\'\' svg_div_bottom_invert=\'\' svg_div_bottom_front=\'\' svg_div_bottom_opacity=\'\' svg_div_bottom_preview=\'\' border=\'\' border_style=\'solid\' border_color=\'\' radius=\'\' column_boxshadow=\'\' column_boxshadow_color=\'\' column_boxshadow_width=\'10\' background=\'bg_color\' background_color=\'\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' background_gradient_color1=\'#000000\' background_gradient_color2=\'#ffffff\' background_gradient_color3=\'\' src=\'\' background_position=\'top left\' background_repeat=\'no-repeat\' highlight=\'\' highlight_size=\'\' animation=\'\' link=\'\' linktarget=\'\' link_hover=\'\' title_attr=\'\' alt_attr=\'\' mobile_display=\'\' mobile_col_pos=\'0\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' aria_label=\'\' av_uid=\'av-2bwnty\' sc_version=\'1.0\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock textblock_styling_align=\'\' textblock_styling=\'\' textblock_styling_gap=\'\' textblock_styling_mobile=\'\' size=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-m48yew35\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h1>Sanguen Health Centre Responds to Passage of Bill 223 and Impending Closure of Kitchener CTS</h1>\r\nYesterday marked a devastating day for Ontario. Bill 223, which forces the closure of many supervised consumption sites across the province through changes to zoning laws, has passed through expedited measures , paving the way for the Kitchener CTS to shut down in March 2025. This decision, made through an undemocratic voice vote with no recorded accountability from elected officials, represents a tragic failure of leadership and an affront to the fundamental right to life

concerns regarding the proposed motion going forward on Tuesday November 5th - \"Chronic Homelessness, Mental Health, Safety and Addiction Crisis” that would criminalize encampments and could mandate

For years, our programs have worked to bridge gaps in healthcare, harm reduction, and social services, ensuring that those most at risk receive the support they need.\r\n\r\nNow, for the first time, we are proud to share our <strong>2024 Community Impact Report</strong>—a reflection of the work, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped the past year. This report tells the story of Sanguen’s impact in Waterloo Region and Guelph/Wellington: from expanding life-saving overdose prevention initiatives and harm reduction education to strengthening outreach efforts through our Community Health Vans and peer-led programming.\r\n\r\nInside, you’ll find not only the numbers that define our reach but also the stories behind them—the individuals, partners, and frontline teams who make our work possible. With growing systemic challenges, policy shifts, and funding uncertainties, this report also serves as a call to action: to continue advocating for harm reduction, investing in solutions that work, and ensuring that healthcare remains accessible to all, no matter their circumstances.\r\n\r\nWe invite you to explore the <strong>2024 Community Impact Report</strong> and celebrate the resilience of our communities, the dedication of our staff, and the power of harm reduction in action.

Bill 223, which forces the closure of many supervised consumption sites across the province through changes to zoning laws, has passed through expedited measures , paving the way for the Kitchener CTS to shut down in March 2025. This decision, made through an undemocratic voice vote with no recorded accountability from elected officials, represents a tragic failure of leadership and an affront to the fundamental right to life

concerns regarding the proposed motion going forward on Tuesday November 5th - \"Chronic Homelessness, Mental Health, Safety and Addiction Crisis” that would criminalize encampments and could mandate

Additionally, our exemption under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), which legally permits supervised consumption services, expires on this date. Without this exemption and necessary funding, we are unable to continue operations in their current format despite the temporary injunction.\r\n\r\nWe find the judge\'s acknowledgment of the potential harm caused by these closures hopeful. However, the situation is complex. The absence of provincial funding and the expiration of our CDSA exemption present significant barriers to maintaining services.\r\n\r\nSanguen remains <strong>absolutely committed</strong> to re-establishing fully funded and legally exempt supervised consumption facilities in our community. These services are integral to harm reduction efforts aimed at mitigating overdose risks and are a fundamental component of the healthcare we believe everyone is entitled to. While we would reopen immediately if we had the necessary exemption, facility, and funding, we will continue working diligently to restore these critical services, should the legal challenge ultimately prove successful.\r\n\r\nIn the interim, Sanguen remains steadfast in our dedication to harm reduction and community support. We will persist in providing outreach, primary care, peer support, and overdose prevention training to those in need.\r\n\r\nFor updates on available services and our ongoing efforts, please visit <a href=\"http://sanguen.com\">www.sanguen.com</a>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[/av_one_full]'),

For years, our programs have worked to bridge gaps in healthcare, harm reduction, and social services, ensuring that those most at risk receive the support they need.\r\n\r\nNow, for the first time, we are proud to share our <strong>2024 Community Impact Report</strong>—a reflection of the work, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped the past year. This report tells the story of Sanguen’s impact in Waterloo Region and Guelph/Wellington: from expanding life-saving overdose prevention initiatives and harm reduction education to strengthening outreach efforts through our Community Health Vans and peer-led programming.\r\n\r\nInside, you’ll find not only the numbers that define our reach but also the stories behind them—the individuals, partners, and frontline teams who make our work possible. With growing systemic challenges, policy shifts, and funding uncertainties, this report also serves as a call to action: to continue advocating for harm reduction, investing in solutions that work, and ensuring that healthcare remains accessible to all, no matter their circumstances.\r\n\r\nWe invite you to explore the <strong>2024 Community Impact Report</strong> and celebrate the resilience of our communities, the dedication of our staff, and the power of harm reduction in action.

This decision, made through an undemocratic voice vote with no recorded accountability from elected officials, represents a tragic failure of leadership and an affront to the fundamental right to life

concerns regarding the proposed motion going forward on Tuesday November 5th - \"Chronic Homelessness, Mental Health, Safety and Addiction Crisis” that would criminalize encampments and could mandate

funding for all CTS sites, including ours.

For years, our programs have worked to bridge gaps in healthcare, harm reduction, and social services, ensuring that those most at risk receive the support they need.\r\n\r\nNow, for the first time, we are proud to share our <strong>2024 Community Impact Report</strong>—a reflection of the work, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped the past year. This report tells the story of Sanguen’s impact in Waterloo Region and Guelph/Wellington: from expanding life-saving overdose prevention initiatives and harm reduction education to strengthening outreach efforts through our Community Health Vans and peer-led programming.\r\n\r\nInside, you’ll find not only the numbers that define our reach but also the stories behind them—the individuals, partners, and frontline teams who make our work possible. With growing systemic challenges, policy shifts, and funding uncertainties, this report also serves as a call to action: to continue advocating for harm reduction, investing in solutions that work, and ensuring that healthcare remains accessible to all, no matter their circumstances.\r\n\r\nWe invite you to explore the <strong>2024 Community Impact Report</strong> and celebrate the resilience of our communities, the dedication of our staff, and the power of harm reduction in action.

Bill 223, which forces the closure of many supervised consumption sites across the province through changes to zoning laws, has passed through expedited measures , paving the way for the Kitchener CTS to shut down in March 2025. This decision, made through an undemocratic voice vote with no recorded accountability from elected officials, represents a tragic failure of leadership and an affront to the fundamental right to life

concerns regarding the proposed motion going forward on Tuesday November 5th - \"Chronic Homelessness, Mental Health, Safety and Addiction Crisis” that would criminalize encampments and could mandate

Additionally, our exemption under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), which legally permits supervised consumption services, expires on this date. Without this exemption and necessary funding, we are unable to continue operations in their current format despite the temporary injunction.\r\n\r\nWe find the judge\'s acknowledgment of the potential harm caused by these closures hopeful. However, the situation is complex. The absence of provincial funding and the expiration of our CDSA exemption present significant barriers to maintaining services.\r\n\r\nSanguen remains <strong>absolutely committed</strong> to re-establishing fully funded and legally exempt supervised consumption facilities in our community. These services are integral to harm reduction efforts aimed at mitigating overdose risks and are a fundamental component of the healthcare we believe everyone is entitled to. While we would reopen immediately if we had the necessary exemption, facility, and funding, we will continue working diligently to restore these critical services, should the legal challenge ultimately prove successful.\r\n\r\nIn the interim, Sanguen remains steadfast in our dedication to harm reduction and community support. We will persist in providing outreach, primary care, peer support, and overdose prevention training to those in need.\r\n\r\nFor updates on available services and our ongoing efforts, please visit <a href=\"http://sanguen.com\">www.sanguen.com</a>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[/av_one_full]'),

This confidential visit is for anyone that uses drugs, those who support people who use drugs or anyone with a sample to understand what dangerous fillers and other drugs like fentanyl analogues might be in their sample, so they can make informed decisions about what they actually have in their possession.\r\n\r\nThe technology, developed by startup company SCATR Inc. with the support of Western University infrastructure, is being rolled out at 11 safe consumption sites across Ontario, Nova Scotia and B.C. thanks to a new grant from Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) announced by Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.</blockquote>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_horizontal_gallery ids=\'2429,2434,2432,2431,2436,2430,2433,2435\' height=\'25\' size=\'large\' gap=\'large\' active=\'enlarge\' initial=\'\' control_layout=\'av-control-default\' links=\'active\' link_dest=\'\' lightbox_text=\'\' img_scrset=\'\' lazy_loading=\'disabled\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lzofkvlq\' sc_version=\'1.0\'][/av_horizontal_gallery]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'invisible\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' position=\'center\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' height=\'50\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_icon_color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lkwpbea5\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock textblock_styling_align=\'\' textblock_styling=\'\' textblock_styling_gap=\'\' textblock_styling_mobile=\'\' size=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-4okxhe\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Does The Testing Work?</h3>\r\nIn order to test, you only need a very small amount:  2mg, or the size of a half of a match head. Your sample is not affected through the testing process, so you get it back, unharmed, after the test. \r\n\r\nYou have the choice of a short scan or a longer (approximately 15 minute) scan that is more thorough. You will receive your results while you wait!  The whole process is confidential.\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Testing?</h3>\r\n\r\nTesting provides people who use drugs a way to have more information about the substance they’re planning to use. When the machine tests your substance, the device can tell you the strength, what other kinds of drugs/substances may be present, as well as the cut used. \r\n\r\nThe overdose crisis has shown that there is a very toxic drug supply locally and that it is cut with an array of different drugs and chemical fillers that may add to the drugs’ toxicity. \r\n\r\nFor example, you may think you have purchased an opiate and not be aware that there are benzodiazepines or methamphetamines in it. Cocaine is also a common drug that can be laced with opiates or methamphetamines.  \r\n\r\nThe drug checking device can inform you of many of the different substances that are in your sample.\r\n\r\nTesting your drugs gives the power back to you! You can now make an informed decision about whether to use the drugs you have tested.\r\n\r\nIf your sample comes back with an unknown substance in it, you can choose to have us send it to Western University for further testing. This will help our software to learn these new, unknown substances, which in turn will make the drug testing machine more knowledgeable. This extra process will take roughly two weeks.

This confidential visit is for anyone that uses drugs, those who support people who use drugs or anyone with a sample to understand what dangerous fillers and other drugs like fentanyl analogues might be in their sample, so they can make informed decisions about what they actually have in their possession.\r\n\r\nThe technology, developed by startup company SCATR Inc. with the support of Western University infrastructure, is being rolled out at 11 safe consumption sites across Ontario, Nova Scotia and B.C. thanks to a new grant from Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) announced by Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.</blockquote>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_horizontal_gallery ids=\'2429,2434,2432,2431,2436,2430,2433,2435\' height=\'25\' size=\'large\' gap=\'large\' active=\'enlarge\' initial=\'\' control_layout=\'av-control-default\' links=\'active\' link_dest=\'\' lightbox_text=\'\' img_scrset=\'\' lazy_loading=\'disabled\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lzofkvlq\' sc_version=\'1.0\'][/av_horizontal_gallery]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class=\'invisible\' icon_select=\'yes\' icon=\'ue808\' font=\'entypo-fontello\' position=\'center\' shadow=\'no-shadow\' height=\'50\' custom_border=\'av-border-thin\' custom_width=\'50px\' custom_margin_top=\'30px\' custom_margin_bottom=\'30px\' custom_border_color=\'\' custom_icon_color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lkwpbea5\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock textblock_styling_align=\'\' textblock_styling=\'\' textblock_styling_gap=\'\' textblock_styling_mobile=\'\' size=\'\' av-medium-font-size=\'\' av-small-font-size=\'\' av-mini-font-size=\'\' font_color=\'\' color=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-4okxhe\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Does The Testing Work?</h3>\r\nIn order to test, you only need a very small amount:  2mg, or the size of a half of a match head. Your sample is not affected through the testing process, so you get it back, unharmed, after the test. \r\n\r\nYou have the choice of a short scan or a longer (approximately 15 minute) scan that is more thorough. You will receive your results while you wait!  The whole process is confidential.\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Testing?</h3>\r\n\r\nTesting provides people who use drugs a way to have more information about the substance they’re planning to use. When the machine tests your substance, the device can tell you the strength, what other kinds of drugs/substances may be present, as well as the cut used. \r\n\r\nThe overdose crisis has shown that there is a very toxic drug supply locally and that it is cut with an array of different drugs and chemical fillers that may add to the drugs’ toxicity. \r\n\r\nFor example, you may think you have purchased an opiate and not be aware that there are benzodiazepines or methamphetamines in it. Cocaine is also a common drug that can be laced with opiates or methamphetamines.  \r\n\r\nThe drug checking device can inform you of many of the different substances that are in your sample.\r\n\r\nTesting your drugs gives the power back to you! You can now make an informed decision about whether to use the drugs you have tested.\r\n\r\nIf your sample comes back with an unknown substance in it, you can choose to have us send it to Western University for further testing. This will help our software to learn these new, unknown substances, which in turn will make the drug testing machine more knowledgeable. This extra process will take roughly two weeks. Your name or identity will not be disclosed. \r\n\r\nPlease note: the device isn\'t 100% accurate due to how unevenly dispersed your batch of substance might be.

Through his work at Grand River Hospital, Dr. Chris Steingart, an infectious disease physician, recognized that there were many people living with Hepatitis C in Waterloo Region, and in Guelph-Wellington, who could benefit from medical treatment and support. Together with his wife Michelle, Sanguen was formed and has become an important resource and support for people living in at-risk communities.\r\n\r\nSanguen continues to provide Hepatitis C testing, treatment, support, outreach, and education in both Waterloo Region and Guelph-Wellington. Our team partners with other agencies and groups, whenever possible, to enhance our ability to work with patients and clients who have, or who are at-risk of, Hepatitis C.\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n'),

During this time, Dr. Steingart began seeing more HIV and Hepatitis C patients. Seeing the need for more specialized care for the complex medical and psycho-social needs of his patients, Dr. Steingart decided to leave the hospital setting and in 2007, Dr. Steingart created the province’s first charitable Hepatitis C service organization, Sanguen Health Centre.
