Support Bill 121: Save A Life

To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

WHEREAS each year more than 2,000 Ontarians die from opioid poisoning; and

WHEREAS data indicates that for every opioid toxicity death, roughly 15 non-fatal overdoses may occur that require intervention with tools such as naloxone; and

WHEREAS Naloxone can safely be administered by bystanders to reverse opioid toxicities as they are occurring. Many opioid toxicity events are occurring in public places. Ensuring that naloxone kits are available to members of the public may prevent tragedies from occurring. Co-locating these Naloxone kits where AED defibrillators are housed would offer access to lifesaving tools in public spaces where opioid overdoses may occur.

Will you sign?

Therefore we the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to:

immediately pass the Save a Life Act (Naloxone Kit Registration and Public Access Act), 2026; and
Take meaningful action to reduce preventable deaths due to opioid overdoses by increasing access to naloxone in public spaces.
