OCAT Meeting March 19, 1pm
Our Featured Presentation this month is: Ron Merk, Chair of the Port Alberni CAT discussing their new document: Solving the Poisoned Drug Crisis in the Alberni Valley.
Last month you were asking for more information on this report and planned next steps – here is your chance to hear more! We will then vote on whether to adopt the document and to add the OCAT logo to support taking this message forward.
We will also have more good news – on the Treatment Centre, plans for MHSU Outreach workers, working together with Island Health on Follow-up after Urgent Care and Linkage to life-saving OAT; news from Risebridge about their outreach programs, and hopefully Extreme weather shelter plans, Next steps on our Summit, and Next steps on our Oceanside Plan to End Homelessness. Finally, we have our first Minutes and Meeting Summary, created with help from the Zoom AI partner.

We have an important meeting this month – discussing what needs to be done to develop shelter options in Oceanside. We will hear from Risebridge about how their initiatives are proceeding.
We expect to hear an update on progress toward the Treatment Centre from Island Health. We will be discussing next steps on our Closing the Gaps initiative, focussing on follow-up after Emergency or Urgent Care, linkage to OAT, and planning our ‘Summit’ meeting, either locally or Island-Wide.
We have a new OCAT Chair email with the OCAT Zoom attached, so that others, such as our Coordinator Jamie, or leaders of working groups can book Zoom meetings on our account. Our new Zoom link is below.
Warm Wishes
Sherry
