Between January 2016 and March 2019, an estimated 12,800 Canadians lost their lives due to apparent opioid-related deaths (cihi.ca). The Covid-19 pandemic has seen a huge surge in those deaths with 1,018 Canadians suffering fatal (and 96% of those accidental) opioid-related deaths (canada.ca). Our country has an opioid death crisis on our hands and we need to do something about it.

Enter the Canadian Association of Safe Supply (safesupply.ca). The Canadian Association for Safe Supply is Canada's only national organization focused primarily on increasing access and supply to legal, regulated substances of known potency.

Join me for the third episode of Outside The House as I sit down with Jordan Westfall, CEO of C.A.S.S. as we talk about what safe supply means and does for Canadians.

Stay safe, and be well!
