Myth busting
Facts neighbours and partners can trust
The Integrated Homelessness and Addictions Response Centre shares compassionate fact checks so residents, agency partners, and local government act on shared evidence. Each entry captures what people are hearing, what the data shows, and where collaboration is already in motion.
In an emergency call 911.
The Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act protects the caller and the person receiving help. For same-day support, visit the RAAM clinic Tuesdays, 12–3 pm at 1011 Elgin St. W. The text line is offline; email outreach@iharc.ca.
We are compiling myth busting notes alongside neighbours and agency partners. If you hear a claim that needs a fact check, email outreach@iharc.ca and we will share the response here.
