7pm to 9:30pm Eastern


Canada’s prohibitionist narcotic laws are 114 years old, actively criminalizing certain substances and, disproportionately, certain people. Decades of evidence indicates that criminalization via prohibition is expensive and harmful – and a clear barrier to eliminating Canada’s chronic drug poisoning crisis that kills 19 people every day.

Join esteemed leaders from civil society and municipal government in a discussion of their upstream efforts to improve everyone’s health, safety and well-being with drug laws and policies grounded in equity, and built for the 21st century.

Panel:
  • Natasha Touesnard, Canadian Association of People Who Use Drugs
  • Sandra Ka Hon Chu , Canadian HIV/Aids Legal Network
  • Alicia Neufeld, Toronto Public Health

  • Moderated by Michael Parkinson, Waterloo Region Crime Prevention Council

Presented by:
Waterloo Region Crime Prevention Council (WRCPC)
