Findings/Key points
The purpose of this report is to provide a general understanding of the toxic drug crisis, how it is being experienced in Algoma, and what we can do as a community to respond. It is critical to ensure that local response efforts are evidence-informed, well-coordinated, integrated, and adapted to meet evolving needs. We hope that readers will gain a deeper understanding of the situation and how they (as an individual or community-based agency) can influence positive change.
