Creating Effective, Compassionate Drug Policy in Canada  

We lead and collaborate on initiatives that translate evidence into action: 

  • To End a Crisis: Vision for BC Drug Policy: developed a framework that aligns drug laws with health, equity, and rights.  
  • International Engagement: contributing Canadian civil society perspectives and expertise to global policy discussions through the United Nations and international working groups, coalitions and knowledge exchange events 
  • Past Projects: Case for Reform, Imagine Safe Supply, and Getting to Tomorrow have each informed national conversations and policy recommendations towards health-and-rights-based approaches.  

Explore our current and past initiatives to see how our recommendations for change could build safety and well-being for communities.
