Ford Closes Supervised Consumption Sites — 288% Overdose Spike FollowsIn August 2024, Ford's government ordered the closure of supervised consumption sites within 200 metres of schools or daycares — a rule that targeted 10 sites for elimination. The government conducted no studies before closing them. Its own internal risk assessment warned deaths would result. Its own commissioned reviews of the triggering site recommended against closure. Ontario's Auditor General found the sites had prevented nearly 1,600 fatal overdoses in a single year. After the April 2025 closures: overdoses at Toronto drop-in centres rose 75% in the first month, 175% in May, and 288% by June. Paramedic opioid overdose calls in Toronto were up 47% by January 2026. Hamilton recorded its worst overdose numbers in history. Health Minister Sylvia Jones, asked if she had estimated how many people would die: "People are not going to die."
