Northern Toll – The impact of the drug toxicity crisis in Northern Ontario corrections
Press Release
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This report was made possible through funding provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the University of Toronto’s Centre of Criminology and Sociolegal Studies Research Cluster for the Study of Racism and Inequality.
We are grateful for the contributions of the project’s advisors who provided input and feedback throughout. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many local experts and service providers who contributed to this research and welcomed us into their communities. The care and commitment they bring to their work is an important reminder that there is a way out of this crisis. This work could not have been done without the generous support of the local John Howard Societies in Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, and Sudbury.
Finally, we express our profound gratitude to the artists and local contributors who enriched this report with their personal reflections, drawings, and poems, reminding us that behind every statistic is a human story.
