Community Activism

Many of the recent overdose deaths in London were preventable

Of the many harms that are associated with illicit drug use, one has been overshadowing the rest in its deadly impact on London's drug-using community. Over the past several months, London has seen a rash of opiate related overdose deaths.  Although most of these fatalities go unnoticed by the wider community, for those of us working in shelters, social service agencies and on the streets with people who use drugs, and indeed for those who themselves use drugs, it seems that not a week goes by without  the sad news of yet another death of someone we know.  read more »

North Montreal Riot

Montreal mayor Gérald Tremblay, and police chief, Yvan Delorme both made public statements regarding the violent riot that broke out of a peaceful protest in a northern, largely Haitian community neighborhood this weekend. Many residents, seen to be driven by their frustration over (what they see as) the belligerent police shooting and murder of fellow community member, Freddy Villanueva, 18, stormed the streets, tossing beer bottles at firefighters after setting fires and confronting the police in a display of violence.

Mayor Tremblay said he won't "tolerate what has happened on the weekend." Delorme, on the other hand, has said that he's willing to do whatever to make amends with the community, even though he believes that the tension is not necessarily as widespread as some press portray it to be.   read more »
