Since 2018, Moss Park CTS has been a trusted space for thousands of people. The program offers low-barrier, coordinated care, including primary health services, mental health programming and services, substance use treatment, and social supports.
By removing barriers to access, the site plays a critical role in building trusting relationships with the people we serve — often beginning with the simple, vital goal of keeping them in a safer place, connected to community and, even more importantly, alive in the tragic face of an ever-increasingly perilous toxic drug crisis. These relationships are often long-term and become a foundation for supporting individuals, when they’re ready, to consider options for treatment, recovery, housing and even employment.
In March of 2026, staff and service-users suddenly learned that public funding for Moss Park CTS would end on June 13th, 2026, and the supervised consumption site would be required to close at that time.
Moss Park CTS is healthcare and, over the years, has saved thousands of lives. Without it, people will be exposed to disastrous and life-threatening consequences, underscoring the vital role our experienced and highly skilled staff has played in keeping the city’s most equity-deserving Ontarians connected to life-saving care and other essential programs and services.
