<b>Effective April 1, 2025</b>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">As of April 1, 2025, Sanguen’s Consumption and Treatment Services (CTS) site in Kitchener is permanently closed due to the passing of </span><a href="https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/bills/parliament-43/session-1/bill-223"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bill 223</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Since opening in 2019, CTS has provided a vital, life-saving service—offering a safe, supervised space, overdose prevention, healthcare, and connection to community support.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">While this closure marks a significant loss, Sanguen is still here. We remain committed to harm reduction and will continue providing services, including outreach, primary care, peer support, and overdose prevention training.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Keep checking back to our website for updates on the new drop in space at 130 Victoria Street (Bramm Entrance) that will be opening later in April. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">All of Sanguen’s other vital programs and services will continue to run. Find us on the </span><a href="https://2025.sanguen.com/outreach-program/mobile-van-outreach/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Van</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, through the </span><a href="https://2025.sanguen.com/outreach-program/telus-mobile-health-bus/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Primary Care Bus</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or through our many other services. </span>
