"By eliminating these positions, the city is dismantling a critical piece of its public health strategy to address the opioid crisis," Yadollahi said at a news conference.
"These are the very workers who prevent overdoses, provide essential supports and connect people to the care they need."
Coun. Chris Moise stated, "This is not something the city wants to do, but has no other choice due to new provincial legislation."
"The board asked the city to maintain funding for the staff positions in its 2025 budget but that Toronto Public Health had to provide layoff notices under the rules of its collective agreements."
