Moss Park Overdose Prevention Site

The Moss Park CTS began as a volunteer initiative run by the Toronto Overdose Prevention Society. As of July 2018, Moss Park CTS is now run by staff of South Riverdale Community Health Centre at an indoor location in the Moss Park community. It has an exemption from Health Canada to operate, and funding from the Government of Ontario. As a satellite of SRCHC the Moss Park CTS assists service users to connect to the wide variety of programs and services that are offered at South Riverdale CHC’s 955 location. In addition, many health and social service supports are provided on-site.

The site hosts a Hep C clinic, drop-in Nurse Practitioner services, women’s support services on Thursdays, and arts and food programming on Fridays. The Moss Park site also runs a robust volunteer program, through which community members help clean up the neighbourhood, provide outreach and harm reduction education to the broader community, and put together harm reduction kits for distribution. The site also provides harm reduction supplies such as naloxone kits, safe disposal supplies and clean syringes and pipes.
