Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre (PQWCHC) is a community-based, non-profit health organization serving the south-mid-west region of Toronto. It provides a wide range of services, including health and dental care, harm reduction, community initiatives, family doctors, and Indigenous Wellness programs.

On the last Wednesday of every month at 6:00 PM, PQWCHC hosts a Neighbourhood Meeting to introduce community members to the services provided by its Supervised Consumption Services (SCS).

Despite common misconceptions, SCS do not increase drug use or crime, nor do they attract illicit activity to communities. Instead, they save lives, prevent accidental overdoses, and reduce the spread of infectious diseases. While PQWCHC’s SCS is not among the five sites in Toronto facing closure by the provincial government, it anticipates an increase in demand for its services.
