Funded by Health Canada in March 2021, the program aimed to reduce overdose-related harm and prevent deaths in Kitchener-Waterloo by providing a safer alternative to the toxic, unregulated street drug supply. Funding for the Safer Supply program was discontinued in 2023 resulting in a change in direction.</span>\r\n<h3><b>What is Safer Supply?</b></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safer Supply is a harm reduction approach where legal, pharmaceutical-grade opioids are prescribed by Physicians and Nurse Practitioners to individuals at high risk of overdose. This allows participants to reduce or eliminate reliance on unregulated street drugs, decreasing exposure to contaminants like fentanyl and other dangerous substances.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safer Supply programs operate through a health promotion and community-based service delivery model. At Sanguen, this model integrated a range of social and healthcare supports, all delivered through a trauma- and violence-informed lens.</span>\r\n<h3><b>Program Impacts</b></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its launch, the Safer Supply Program has:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced participants\' reliance on the toxic unregulated drug supply.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decreased the risk of overdose and related harms.</span></li>\r\n 	<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provided essential health and social supports to individuals in the community.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><b>Current Status</b></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to funding and capacity issues, the Safer Supply Program is no longer accepting new referrals.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the program’s structure is changing, Sanguen remains deeply committed to harm reduction and advocating for innovative solutions to the ongoing drug poisoning crisis. </span>\r\n<h3><b>Learn More</b></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you would like to understand more about harm reduction and safer supply approaches, please explore the Resource tab on our website or contact us for further information.

Sanguen Health Centre received funding from Health Canada in March 2021 to develop and implement Safer Supply services in response to the drug poisoning crisis with an objective of reducing overdose-related harm and overdose death in the Kitchener- Waterloo community.\r\n\r\nThe Safer Supply program utilizes a health promotion, community-based service delivery model that offers a range of social and health care supports from a trauma- and violence- informed lens. Through this program, Physicians and Nurse Practitioners prescribe legal, pharmaceutical opioids to participants to support clients in reducing or replacing their interactions with the toxic, unregulated street supply of fentanyl. As a program and organization we strive to provide a safe environment for people who use drugs in our community that is non-judgemental, inclusive, non-coercive, non-punitive and justice- oriented.\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">REFFERALS CLOSED</h4>\r\nDue to limited resources and capacity, the Safer Supply program will remain closed to referrals indefinitely.\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">PROGRAM UPDATES</h4>\r\nOur EVALUATION REPORTS are here!!

We understand and support this decision.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the motion went public, it has sparked many conversations about the ongoing need to provide this type of healthcare, while also engaging with existing relationships between community partners, the Region, and dedicated community members. We believe these conversations will lead to a solution, and the support of these partners has meant so much. Thank you to Councillor Hamilton for trying to help resolve this deadlocked situation, and for creating new conversations about how we can all proceed together to better our city, and Region.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\'s crucial to remember why this motion was proposed. It stems from the issue of the Sanguen Van being prohibited from parking on Market Lane in Cambridge, outside the Bridges Shelter. Despite several years of weekly one-hour stops, a sudden parking ban was enforced without clear justification or a willingness to work with Sanguen on finding an alternate place to park.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The City of Cambridge’s lack of accountability on this issue suggests a lack of support for the services that are provided to the homeless population. Otherwise, we believe the parking issue could have been collaboratively resolved, as it has been at other stops in both Cambridge and across the Region when issues have arisen.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanguen provides healthcare to individuals who are precariously housed or homeless. In the Region of Waterloo, over 1,000 people currently struggle with chronic homelessness and so many more are living on this razor’s edge. Those living rough face complex health issues and often feel isolated and stigmatized, disconnecting themselves from traditional health services. The van offers a crucial connection and a sense of worth, often the first step on a continuum of health.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our van services include access to needles and other harm reduction supplies, but just as important, it also provides essential items like granola bars, menstrual products, clean clothing, and band-aids. Visitors can be vaccinated, have their wounds treated by a nurse, or talk with a social worker. These initial connections can lead to many positive outcomes and often provide a bright spot in their week.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When community leaders turn their backs on homeless individuals and create barriers to healthcare and support, the impacts are significant and detrimental. The message conveyed is that these individuals don’t deserve to be seen and that their health or lives don’t matter.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harm reduction is a proven, evidence-based approach designed to protect people from preventable bloodborne illnesses. It is a health intervention, not a matter of personal morals or opinions.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It’s unfortunate and harmful when elected officials turn towards private social media groups to police encampments and spread harmful rhetoric about the homeless population. This can lead to unnecessary bullying and criticism of service providers and contributes to an inaccurate narrative that they are “not doing enough” while systems fail to address the crisis meaningfully by removing barriers and providing resources so that service providers can do more.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The solution requires everyone working together: upper and lower-tier municipalities, the province, the federal government, and agencies specializing in addressing the complex needs of this growing population. This is a systems issue, a policy issue rooted in outdated and exclusionary approaches. Without shifting from the systems that caused this housing crisis, we cannot expect to solve it.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Punishing homeless individuals is certainly not a solution to the housing and homelessness crisis. Everyone has a right to basic healthcare, regardless of where they sleep at night.

compassionate, person-centered care rooted in harm reduction, advocacy, and a commitment to equity. 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.

provide healthcare in the City of Cambridge. We understand and support this decision.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the motion went public, it has sparked many conversations about the ongoing need to provide this type of healthcare, while also engaging with existing relationships between community partners, the Region, and dedicated community members. We believe these conversations will lead to a solution, and the support of these partners has meant so much. Thank you to Councillor Hamilton for trying to help resolve this deadlocked situation, and for creating new conversations about how we can all proceed together to better our city, and Region.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://2025.sanguen.com/news-events/statement-from-sanguen-health-centre-regarding-the-decision-to-repeal-the-motion/\">Click here to read the full statement</a> </span>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"></h2>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n[/av_two_third]\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-33mth2\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n\r\n[av_section min_height=\'\' min_height_pc=\'25\' min_height_px=\'500px\' padding=\'default\' custom_margin=\'0px\' custom_margin_sync=\'true\' 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_opacity=\'\' 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_opacity=\'\' color=\'main_color\' background=\'bg_color\' custom_bg=\'#46d6aa\' background_gradient_direction=\'vertical\' background_gradient_color1=\'#000000\' background_gradient_color2=\'#ffffff\' background_gradient_color3=\'\' src=\'\' attachment=\'\' attachment_size=\'\' attach=\'scroll\' position=\'top left\' repeat=\'no-repeat\' video=\'\' video_ratio=\'16:9\' overlay_opacity=\'0.5\' overlay_color=\'\' overlay_pattern=\'\' overlay_custom_pattern=\'\' shadow=\'no-border-styling\' bottom_border=\'no-border-styling\' bottom_border_diagonal_color=\'#333333\' bottom_border_diagonal_direction=\'\' bottom_border_style=\'\' custom_arrow_bg=\'\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' aria_label=\'\' av_element_hidden_in_editor=\'0\' av_uid=\'av-lhfpcqj9\' sc_version=\'1.0\']\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=\'custom\' color=\'#ffffff\' id=\'\' custom_class=\'\' template_class=\'\' av_uid=\'av-lhfp8ich\' sc_version=\'1.0\' admin_preview_bg=\'\']\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Sanguen Monthly Newsletter -

compassionate, person-centered care rooted in harm reduction, advocacy, and a commitment to equity. 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.

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.

in harm reduction, advocacy, and a commitment to equity. 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[/av_two_third]\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=\'\' 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=\'\' 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=\'\' 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[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<h2><b>Sanguen Health Centre Responds to Passage of Bill 223 and Impending Closure of Kitchener CTS</b></h2>\r\nYesterday marked a devastating day for Ontario.

In 2024 alone, the site recorded 15,050 client visits, managed 79 overdoses on-site, and prevented countless more through education, naloxone distribution, and connections to care. Since opening in 2019, the site has overseen more than 1,000 overdose interventions with zero fatalities.\r\n\r\nWith the passing of Bill 223, we are now facing the imminent closure of the CTS on March 31, 2025. This loss is significant—not only because it removes a critical overdose prevention service, but because the funding that supported many of the essential wrap-around services (mental health services, nursing and wound care, case management, and peer support) disappears along with it. This creates the potential for a major service gap in our community at a time when the opioid crisis continues to escalate.\r\n<h3>What Happens Next?</h3>\r\nDespite these challenges, Sanguen remains committed to serving the people who rely on us. While resources and funding remain uncertain, we are actively working with our valued community partners to develop a transitional plan to ensure people still have access to harm reduction, support, and overdose prevention services regardless of where they are at in their addiction journey. Here’s what we’re focusing on:\r\n<h4>A Drop-In Space &amp; Clinical Hub</h4>\r\nIn partnership with <b style=\"color: #000000;\">Traverse Independence Brain Injury Services </b>, we are in the process of creating a supportive drop-in space at 130 Victoria Street (Bramm St. Entrance) in Kitchener for people who use substances. The Drop-In space will not provide supervised consumption services, however, many of the other supports that were a valued part of the CTS will be available, including access to primary care, social support, connection to community resources, and a welcoming space for people to engage.\r\n\r\nHours of operation are still being determined, and we will continue to provide updates through our <a href=\"https://2025.sanguen.com/\">website</a> and social media channels.\r\n<ul class=\"noLightbox social_bookmarks icon_count_4\">\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_twitter av-social-link-twitter social_icon_1\"><a title=\"Twitter\" href=\"https://twitter.com/SanguenOutreach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Twitter\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Twitter</span></a></li>\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_facebook av-social-link-facebook social_icon_2\"><a title=\"Facebook\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sanguen-Health-Centre/190220251028153\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Facebook\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Facebook</span></a></li>\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_instagram av-social-link-instagram social_icon_3\"><a title=\"Instagram\" href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sanguenhealthcentre/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Instagram\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Instagram</span></a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4>Enhanced Overdose Response Training</h4>\r\nOur Education and Training Team is ramping up efforts to equip the broader community with lifesaving overdose prevention skills. With CTS gone, the risk of fatal overdoses will rise, along with the need to prepare for that reality.\r\n<h4>Advocacy &amp; Community Collaboration</h4>\r\nWe are working with community partners to fill service gaps, but resources are stretched across the board. The need for harm reduction services will continue after the CTS closure, and we will remain committed to supporting people through innovative and collaborative approaches.\r\n<h4>Participation in HART Hubs</h4>\r\nThe newly announced HART (Homelessness, Addiction, Recovery and Treatment) Hubs represent an important expansion of treatment and recovery options in our community. Sanguen is committed to playing a role in this new model, providing Primary Care support and serving as a vital bridge to help connect individuals with the range of healthcare and social services available through the HART Hub. We recognize that recovery looks different for everyone, and our goal is to ensure that those we serve can access the support that best meets their needs.\r\n<blockquote>“HART Hubs are a valuable resource for those seeking treatment, and we fully support their place in the continuum of care,” said Dr. Chris Steingart, Executive Director of Sanguen Health Centre. “At the same time, harm reduction services continue to be a critical part of saving lives and keeping people engaged in care. The closure of the CTS leaves a gap that we must work to address.”</blockquote>\r\n<h3>Call to Action</h3>\r\nThe CTS closure is not just a loss for Sanguen—it’s a loss for all of Waterloo Region.

In 2024 alone, the site recorded 15,050 client visits, managed 79 overdoses on-site, and prevented countless more through education, naloxone distribution, and connections to care. Since opening in 2019, the site has overseen more than 1,000 overdose interventions with zero fatalities.\r\n\r\nWith the passing of Bill 223, we are now facing the imminent closure of the CTS on March 31, 2025. This loss is significant—not only because it removes a critical overdose prevention service, but because the funding that supported many of the essential wrap-around services (mental health services, nursing and wound care, case management, and peer support) disappears along with it. This creates the potential for a major service gap in our community at a time when the opioid crisis continues to escalate.\r\n<h3>What Happens Next?</h3>\r\nDespite these challenges, Sanguen remains committed to serving the people who rely on us. While resources and funding remain uncertain, we are actively working with our valued community partners to develop a transitional plan to ensure people still have access to harm reduction, support, and overdose prevention services regardless of where they are at in their addiction journey. Here’s what we’re focusing on:\r\n<h4>A Drop-In Space &amp; Clinical Hub</h4>\r\nIn partnership with <b style=\"color: #000000;\">Traverse Independence Brain Injury Services </b>, we are in the process of creating a supportive drop-in space at 130 Victoria Street (Bramm St. Entrance) in Kitchener for people who use substances. The Drop-In space will not provide supervised consumption services, however, many of the other supports that were a valued part of the CTS will be available, including access to primary care, social support, connection to community resources, and a welcoming space for people to engage.\r\n\r\nHours of operation are still being determined, and we will continue to provide updates through our <a href=\"https://2025.sanguen.com/\">website</a> and social media channels.\r\n<ul class=\"noLightbox social_bookmarks icon_count_4\">\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_twitter av-social-link-twitter social_icon_1\"><a title=\"Twitter\" href=\"https://twitter.com/SanguenOutreach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Twitter\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Twitter</span></a></li>\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_facebook av-social-link-facebook social_icon_2\"><a title=\"Facebook\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sanguen-Health-Centre/190220251028153\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Facebook\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Facebook</span></a></li>\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_instagram av-social-link-instagram social_icon_3\"><a title=\"Instagram\" href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sanguenhealthcentre/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Instagram\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Instagram</span></a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4>Enhanced Overdose Response Training</h4>\r\nOur Education and Training Team is ramping up efforts to equip the broader community with lifesaving overdose prevention skills. With CTS gone, the risk of fatal overdoses will rise, along with the need to prepare for that reality.\r\n<h4>Advocacy &amp; Community Collaboration</h4>\r\nWe are working with community partners to fill service gaps, but resources are stretched across the board. The need for harm reduction services will continue after the CTS closure, and we will remain committed to supporting people through innovative and collaborative approaches.\r\n<h4>Participation in HART Hubs</h4>\r\nThe newly announced HART (Homelessness, Addiction, Recovery and Treatment) Hubs represent an important expansion of treatment and recovery options in our community. Sanguen is committed to playing a role in this new model, providing Primary Care support and serving as a vital bridge to help connect individuals with the range of healthcare and social services available through the HART Hub. We recognize that recovery looks different for everyone, and our goal is to ensure that those we serve can access the support that best meets their needs.\r\n<blockquote>“HART Hubs are a valuable resource for those seeking treatment, and we fully support their place in the continuum of care,” said Dr. Chris Steingart, Executive Director of Sanguen Health Centre. “At the same time, harm reduction services continue to be a critical part of saving lives and keeping people engaged in care. The closure of the CTS leaves a gap that we must work to address.”</blockquote>\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h3>Call to Action</h3>\r\nThe CTS closure is not just a loss for Sanguen—it’s a loss for all of Waterloo Region.

In 2024 alone, the site recorded 15,050 client visits, managed 79 overdoses on-site, and prevented countless more through education, naloxone distribution, and connections to care. Since opening in 2019, the site has overseen more than 1,000 overdose interventions with zero fatalities.\r\n\r\nWith the passing of Bill 223, we are now facing the imminent closure of the CTS on March 31, 2025. This loss is significant—not only because it removes a critical overdose prevention service, but because the funding that supported many of the essential wrap-around services (mental health services, nursing and wound care, case management, and peer support) disappears along with it. This creates the potential for a major service gap in our community at a time when the opioid crisis continues to escalate.\r\n<h3>What Happens Next?</h3>\r\nDespite these challenges, Sanguen remains committed to serving the people who rely on us. While resources and funding remain uncertain, we are actively working with our valued community partners to develop a transitional plan to ensure people still have access to harm reduction, support, and overdose prevention services regardless of where they are at in their addiction journey. Here’s what we’re focusing on:\r\n<h4>A Drop-In Space &amp; Clinical Hub</h4>\r\nIn partnership with <b style=\"color: #000000;\">Traverse Independence Brain Injury Services </b>, we are in the process of creating a supportive drop-in space at 130 Victoria Street (Bramm St. Entrance) in Kitchener for people who use substances. The Drop-In space will not provide supervised consumption services, however, many of the other supports that were a valued part of the CTS will be available, including access to primary care, social support, connection to community resources, and a welcoming space for people to engage.\r\n\r\nHours of operation are still being determined, and we will continue to provide updates through our <a href=\"https://2025.sanguen.com/\">website</a> and social media channels.\r\n<ul class=\"noLightbox social_bookmarks icon_count_4\">\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_twitter av-social-link-twitter social_icon_1\"><a title=\"Twitter\" href=\"https://twitter.com/SanguenOutreach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Twitter\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Twitter</span></a></li>\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_facebook av-social-link-facebook social_icon_2\"><a title=\"Facebook\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sanguen-Health-Centre/190220251028153\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Facebook\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Facebook</span></a></li>\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_instagram av-social-link-instagram social_icon_3\"><a title=\"Instagram\" href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sanguenhealthcentre/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Instagram\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Instagram</span></a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4>Enhanced Overdose Response Training</h4>\r\nOur Education and Training Team is ramping up efforts to equip the broader community with lifesaving overdose prevention skills. With CTS gone, the risk of fatal overdoses will rise, along with the need to prepare for that reality.\r\n<h4>Advocacy &amp; Community Collaboration</h4>\r\nWe are working with community partners to fill service gaps, but resources are stretched across the board. The need for harm reduction services will continue after the CTS closure, and we will remain committed to supporting people through innovative and collaborative approaches.\r\n<h4>Participation in HART Hubs</h4>\r\nThe newly announced HART (Homelessness, Addiction, Recovery and Treatment) Hubs represent an important expansion of treatment and recovery options in our community. Sanguen is committed to playing a role in this new model, providing Primary Care support and serving as a vital bridge to help connect individuals with the range of healthcare and social services available through the HART Hub. We recognize that recovery looks different for everyone, and our goal is to ensure that those we serve can access the support that best meets their needs.\r\n<blockquote>“HART Hubs are a valuable resource for those seeking treatment, and we fully support their place in the continuum of care,” said Dr. Chris Steingart, Executive Director of Sanguen Health Centre. “At the same time, harm reduction services continue to be a critical part of saving lives and keeping people engaged in care. The closure of the CTS leaves a gap that we must work to address.”</blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Call to Action</h3>\r\nThe CTS closure is not just a loss for Sanguen—it’s a loss for all of Waterloo Region.

In 2024 alone, the site recorded 15,050 client visits, managed 79 overdoses on-site, and prevented countless more through education, naloxone distribution, and connections to care. Since opening in 2019, the site has overseen more than 1,000 overdose interventions with zero fatalities.\r\n\r\nWith the passing of Bill 223, we are now facing the imminent closure of the CTS on March 31, 2025. This loss is significant—not only because it removes a critical overdose prevention service, but because the funding that supported many of the essential wrap-around services (mental health services, nursing and wound care, case management, and peer support) disappears along with it. This creates the potential for a major service gap in our community at a time when the opioid crisis continues to escalate.\r\n<h3>What Happens Next?</h3>\r\nDespite these challenges, Sanguen remains committed to serving the people who rely on us. While resources and funding remain uncertain, we are actively working with our valued community partners to develop a transitional plan to ensure people still have access to harm reduction, support, and overdose prevention services regardless of where they are at in their addiction journey. Here’s what we’re focusing on:\r\n<h4>A Drop-In Space &amp; Clinical Hub</h4>\r\nIn partnership with <b style=\"color: #000000;\">Traverse Independence Brain Injury Services </b>, we are in the process of creating a supportive drop-in space at 130 Victoria Street (Bramm St. Entrance) in Kitchener for people who use substances. The Drop-In space will not provide supervised consumption services, however, many of the other supports that were a valued part of the CTS will be available, including access to primary care, social support, connection to community resources, and a welcoming space for people to engage.\r\n\r\nHours of operation are still being determined, and we will continue to provide updates through our <a href=\"https://2025.sanguen.com/\">website</a> and social media channels.\r\n<ul class=\"noLightbox social_bookmarks icon_count_4\">\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_twitter av-social-link-twitter social_icon_1\"><a title=\"Twitter\" href=\"https://twitter.com/SanguenOutreach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Twitter\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Twitter</span></a></li>\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_facebook av-social-link-facebook social_icon_2\"><a title=\"Facebook\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sanguen-Health-Centre/190220251028153\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Facebook\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Facebook</span></a></li>\r\n 	<li class=\"social_bookmarks_instagram av-social-link-instagram social_icon_3\"><a title=\"Instagram\" href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sanguenhealthcentre/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Link to Instagram\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-av_icon=\"\" data-av_iconfont=\"entypo-fontello\"><span class=\"avia_hidden_link_text\">Instagram</span></a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4>Enhanced Overdose Response Training</h4>\r\nOur Education and Training Team is ramping up efforts to equip the broader community with lifesaving overdose prevention skills. With CTS gone, the risk of fatal overdoses will rise, along with the need to prepare for that reality.\r\n<h4>Advocacy &amp; Community Collaboration</h4>\r\nWe are working with community partners to fill service gaps, but resources are stretched across the board. The need for harm reduction services will continue after the CTS closure, and we will remain committed to supporting people through innovative and collaborative approaches.\r\n<h4>Participation in HART Hubs</h4>\r\nThe newly announced HART (Homelessness, Addiction, Recovery and Treatment) Hubs represent an important expansion of treatment and recovery options in our community. Sanguen is committed to playing a role in this new model, providing Primary Care support and serving as a vital bridge to help connect individuals with the range of healthcare and social services available through the HART Hub. We recognize that recovery looks different for everyone, and our goal is to ensure that those we serve can access the support that best meets their needs.\r\n<blockquote>“HART Hubs are a valuable resource for those seeking treatment, and we fully support their place in the continuum of care,” said Dr. Chris Steingart, Executive Director of Sanguen Health Centre. “At the same time, harm reduction services continue to be a critical part of saving lives and keeping people engaged in care. The closure of the CTS leaves a gap that we must work to address.”</blockquote>\r\n<h3>Call to Action</h3>\r\nThe CTS closure is not just a loss for Sanguen—it’s a loss for all of Waterloo Region. We know that harm reduction services save lives, reduce public drug use, and connect people with healthcare and social support. Without this site, people will be at higher risk of overdose and death, and our community will feel the impact.\r\n\r\nTo learn more about Sanguen Health Centre and the many services we provide in the community, check out our <a href=\"https://2025.sanguen.com/community-impact-report/\">2024 Community Impact Report.</a>\r\n\r\nFor information about harm reduction and how to access available services in our community, visit this website: <a href=\"https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/living-here/harm-reduction.aspx\">https://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/living-here/harm-reduction.aspx</a>\r\n\r\nTo support Sanguen, visit: <a href=\"https://2025.sanguen.com/donate/\">https://2025.sanguen.com/donate/</a>\r\n<h4>Media Contact:</h4>\r\n<h5>Julie Kalbfleisch</h5>\r\nDirector, Fundraising and Communications\r\n<a href=\"mailto:jkalbfleisch@sanguen.com\">jkalbfleisch@sanguen.com</a>\r\n[/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[/av_one_full]','Closure of Kitchener’s Consumption and Treatment Services (CTS) Site','','inherit','closed','closed','','2589-revision-v1','','','2025-03-31 03:00:37','2025-03-31 07:00:37','',2589,'https://sanguen.com/?p=2594',0,'revision','',0),
