As McMaster Medical School students we are advocating for increased supports for persons experiencing homelessness in Hamilton. We ask that the Hamilton City Council collaborate with public health, healthcare organizations, and shelters to integrate and expand access to harm reduction resources and supervised consumption across the shelter system. In addition, we ask that Hamilton City Council cease the criminalization of activities associated with homelessness include many of those defined under the Public Nuisance bylaw (i.e loitering, public urination, public defecation, public intoxication) as well as sleeping rough and forming and living in encampments. Appropriate responses to these activities should involve individuals trained to interact with and support underserved populations, such as community housing workers, health workers, and mental health workers in acute crises. Lastly, we ask that the Hamilton City Council declare that public washrooms and hygiene facilities are essential services and subsequently increase availability of and access to public hygiene facilities. These measures aim to mitigate the harms of a lack of stable housing and improve health and social outcomes for individuals experiencing homelessness.

As McMaster Medical School students we are advocating for alternative treatment options for patients with opioid use disorder as a response to the growing opioid crisis in Hamilton. We ask that the Hamilton City Council publicly support the implementation of managed opioid programs (MOPs) in Hamilton and throughout Ontario given the urgency of the opioid poisoning crisis and as part of the continuum of care for opioid use disorder. We ask that the Hamilton City Council write a letter to the Honourable Christine Elliott, Ontario Minister of Health for the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC), in support of the following items:
Add injectable opioid agonist therapy medications at their required concentrations (50 milligrams/milliliters and 100 milligrams/milliliters hydromorphone) to the Ontario Drug Benefit Formulary for the treatment of opioid use disorder and ensure the accessibility of these medications to individuals with opioid use disorder; Seek authority from Health Canada to import diacetylmorphine (pharmaceutical heroin) for use as a managed opioid program medication in Ontario; and Ensure that managed opioid medications are universally accessible to all Ontarians who could benefit from these kinds of programs, and that cost is not a barrier. We ask that Hamilton City Council, similar to Toronto, send a letter of support for the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to advocate for increased funding and action towards the implementation of MOPs in Hamilton and elsewhere in Ontario to mitigate the harms of injection drug use and improve health and social outcomes for individuals with opioid use disorder.
