Ottawa Inner City Health is warning of grave consequences when the city’s final 24/7 supervised consumption site shuts down. Ahead of next week’s closure, OICH delivered a joint letter from doctors to Queen’s Park, forecasting the dire strain on Ottawa’s healthcare system and social services. The last location is situated in the ByWard Market and symbolizes a critical point of contact within the community – preventing overdoses, treating infections, and connecting people with mental health support. As they try to keep the faith, Ottawa’s doctors admit that this final plea to Premier Ford probably won’t change his mind, and that drug use will become more open throughout the Downtown alleyways and sidewalks this Summer. Kristy Cameron checks in with Dr. Rakesh Patel on today’s Ottawa Now. He is a General Internal Medicine Physician and the Medical Director of Ottawa Inner City Health.

There’s a popular notion that Summer is the time of year where most people disconnect and chill. It’s definitely not as bleak, or as isolating, as the Winter months can be. However, this season can bring its own unique pressures. From holidays to weddings, there’s more pressure on your bank account. That means your calendar is busier, and there’s more people to see. Perhaps you might be more inclined to take on projects around the house, and those expenses can add up pretty quickly. How do you navigate that mounting pressure to be present, but also the pressure on your pocketbook? Benslyne Avril, a psychotherapist who practices in Westboro, offers her insight on today's Ottawa Now.
