Ontario will end funding for supervised consumption sites by June 2026 unless they find private funding, sparking concern over increased overdose risks.
The Ontario government plans to end provincial funding for supervised consumption sites by June 13, 2026, affecting at least two Toronto locations and sites in Ottawa, London, Kingston, St. Catharines, and Peterborough, unless they secure private funding.
