Unity Project for Relief of Homelessness in London (Official)

Shoutout to Fernlea Flowers, who have thoughtfully and generously donated a carload of flowers which staff and residents got started planting to beautify the property and pallets.

Growing Chefs will be coming back next week with some more to plant in all possible locations to work with our residents and support ongoing care.

The flowers were planted in common and public spaces, as well as to beautify/home-ify individual sleeping cabins. Cherry on top of the spring cleaning, and the property is looking fresh and inviting.

Residents are taking pride, continually contributing to the care and maintenance of their temporary home at Unity Project.

Today we remember the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQ+ people (MMWG2S).
This day is a call to remember those who are missing, those whose lives were taken, and the families and communities who continue to grief. It is also a call to confront the ongoing impacts of colonialism, systemic racism and Gender-Based Violence that continues to put Indigenous lives at risk.

We remember.
We believe.
We stand in solidarity.
We commit to change.

Closing supervised consumption sites puts lives at risk.

These services save lives—preventing overdose, reducing harm, and connecting people to care. Treatment matters, but it cannot replace harm reduction. We need both.

At a time when systems are already stretched, removing critical supports will have real consequences for people experiencing homelessness and for our community.

Thank you to everyone who continues to show up, care deeply, and advocate for better.

Read and share the post from the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, and consider adding your voice.

Supervised consumption services are not about enabling drug use. They are about preserving life and dignity, reducing harm, and creating pathways to treatment. They are part of a continuum of care – one that collapses when any critical piece is removed.

Join us in urging Premier Ford to reverse the decision to close supervised consumption services: RNAO.ca/policy/action-alerts/closing-supervised-consumption-services-sites-will-cost-lives-premier
