Findings/Key points

CATIE teamed up with the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU) and filmmaker Conor Ashleigh to profile how local harm reduction programs are delivering care in four cities across Canada. We visited community organizations in Halifax, Quebec City, Saskatoon and Victoria to showcase innovative programs for people who use drugs. This includes safer supply, mobile outreach, integrated healthcare, peer-led services and more. The videos explore the stories behind these programs, including the people and places that make this work possible.
