Find out about the legal implications of operating an Overdose Prevention Site in Ontario and protections for operators and patrons.
Supervised Consumption Sites (SCS) and Overdose Prevention Sites (OPS) are proven to save lives. In Ontario, 6-7 people die each day from toxic, unregulated drugs. Yet, as of 2025, Ontario has closed various kinds of consumption services through a mix of defunding and new legislative restrictions. In response, communities and volunteers are mobilizing to provide these supports themselves.
