It’s heartbreaking and deeply concerning to see our city’s emergency services stretched to the absolute limit like this.
This dramatic spike really underscores just how toxic the current illicit drug supply has become, and it’s a sobering reminder that this crisis affects the safety and wellbeing of our entire community, not just those directly battling addiction. While the new funding for the mobile paramedic team is a much needed step in the right direction, keeping Winnipeg safe requires a community effort.
We highly encourage everyone to learn the signs of an overdose, carry a free Naloxone kit, and remember that under the Good Samaritan Act, you are legally protected when calling 911 to save a life.
Let’s look out for one another and continue to support our incredibly resilient frontline responders.
