In January 2023 the Board of Health requested that the Medical Officer of Health develop a working table to review the intersection of health and homelessness. In response, Toronto Public Health convened a group of experts and individuals with lived and living experience, including representatives from healthcare, academia, frontline services, and various City of Toronto divisions to create the Health and Homelessness Working Table. This group participated in a series of eight meetings from August 2023 to May 2024.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The primary objective of the Health and Homelessness Working Table was to provide input on and share recommendations addressing health-related issues affecting individuals experiencing homelessness in Toronto. Each meeting focused on specific health issues or populations, such as healthy environments, chronic disease management, refugees and asylum claimants, safety and injury prevention, mental health and substance use, and health across the lifespan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Throughout the series of meetings, participants emphasized the need for enhanced multi-sector collaboration involving all levels of government. They identified gaps and opportunities for improving access to and coordination of services between healthcare and social services, as well as for better communication and resource sharing with individuals experiencing homelessness. The overarching recommendation was the establishment of an intergovernmental collaborative group to address the needs of people experiencing homelessness, with consideration of the feedback provided by this group.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Children's Services, Senior Services and Long-Term Care, Social Development, Finance and Administration, Toronto Shelter and Support Services, and Housing Secretariat were consulted in the development of this report.

On December 4, 2024, the Government of Ontario passed the Community Care and Recovery Act, 2024. This legislation introduces new requirements for operating supervised consumption service sites in Ontario and will lead to a reduction in supervised consumption services available in Toronto by March 31, 2025.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

On November 18, 2024, the Board of Health requested the Medical Officer of Health, in consultation with the Toronto Police Service, Toronto Fire Services, and Toronto Paramedic Services to provide a summary of likely service impacts related to the anticipated closure of supervised consumption sites in Toronto. This staff report provides an overview of anticipated service impacts to Toronto Public Health's clinical service and emergency services in the city as a result of this provincial policy change.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Board of Health also requested the Medical Officer of Health, in consultation with the City Solicitor, to provide a summary of any legal issues related to the Provincial decision to close supervised consumption sites in Toronto. An overview of the legal implications and advice related to the closures of the supervised consumption sites is provided in the supplementary report from legal services.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Supervised consumption sites are healthcare facilities that allow people to bring their own drugs to use in the presence of trained healthcare professionals. These facilities save lives, connect people to social services and are pathways to treatment. The new legislation will reduce access to an evidence-based clinical healthcare service leading to an anticipated increase in preventable fatal and non-fatal overdoses.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto Fire Services, Toronto Paramedic Services and Toronto Police Service were consulted in the development of this report.

The Community Care and Recovery Act, 2024 (the “CCRA”) received Royal Assent on December 4, 2024. The CCRA creates new restrictions on harm reduction services in Ontario, including a prohibition on the operation of a supervised consumption site within 200m of a school, private school, child care centre, and EarlyON child and family centre. It also limits the power of boards of health and municipalities to apply for new exemptions under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, to apply for funding from Health Canada for safer supply services, and to support applications that relate to the aforementioned.

There are hundreds of special events in Toronto throughout the year and especially during the summer adding to the vibrancy of the city. Toronto Public Health (TPH) protects health at special events by providing guidance for water and food safety. Food safety rules can be complex, and food vendors at special events are held to the same standard as permanent food premises, but must achieve these standards while outside in crowded areas with limited infrastructure.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The number of special events is expected to increase as the City takes steps to grow the number of non-permanent food locations by creating new spaces for events like farmers markets. While these are welcomed changes that support the city's vibrancy, they also significantly increase the workload for public health inspectors (PHIs). As special events are clustered in the summer months, concurrently with peak times for other work, TPH PHIs cannot inspect all special event food vendors. To reduce risks for food safety issues while managing operational constraints, TPH is introducing The Food Safety Management Plan (FSMP), a new, voluntary, tool for event organizers which promotes proactive and preventative approaches to special event food safety. The introduction of the FSMP tool is supported by additional educational resources for both organizers and vendors of special events.

Announcements

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chair acknowledged that the Board of Health was meeting on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The Chair also acknowledged that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chair further acknowledged that not all people came to these lands as migrants and settlers, and specifically acknowledged those who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery. In support of the City of Toronto's ongoing efforts to confront anti-Black racism, the Chair paid tribute to those ancestors of African, Caribbean and Black origin and descent.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chair welcomed Councillor Lily Cheng, Councillor Parthi Kandavel, Councillor Anthony Perruzza and Councillor Michael Thompson to the Board of Health. The Chair also welcomed Ida Li Preti, Toronto Catholic School Board Trustee. The Chair further welcomed Dr. Na-Koshi Lamptey as the Acting Medical Officer of Health.

\r\n
