As Ottawa faces the closure of Supervised Consumption Sites, our Executive Director, Anne Marie Hopkins, reflects on what these changes mean.

"For women and gender-diverse people, the risks are even greater. The increased vulnerability in these spaces is amplified; it is often deeply embedded and intertwined with survival strategies, gender-based violence, power dynamics, homelessness, and unaddressed trauma. For some of these women, Supervised Consumption Sites are a lifeline."

We invite you to read Anne Marie's full Op-Ed and consider what compassionate, evidence-informed responses to substance use can look like in our city.

At Cornerstone, we support a harm reduction approach to substance use.

Harm reduction is rooted in compassion, dignity, and evidence-based care. It means meeting people where they are, without judgment or requiring abstinence as a condition of support.

By focusing on positive change, we help ensure everyone has access to the care and support they deserve.

💜 Community Care Saves Lives 💜

Various organizations need your support due to the closures of the Safe Consumption Sites.

The Emergency Overdose Prevention Fund has been launched to help community organizations continue their response to the overdose crisis and support people through this transition.

At Cornerstone, we know that compassionate, community-based care matters.
