Findings/Key points
CDPC launched a 3 year cross-Canada project to engage with those most impacted by current drug policies. We met with harm reduction organizations, First Nations communities, health policy experts, people who use drugs, African, Caribbean, and Black community organizations, healthcare and frontline workers, drug user groups, law enforcement and more. These communities surfaced 7 key action areas with a total of 82 recommendations that, if implemented, could support communities to end the unregulated drug crisis.
