👉British Columbia announces plans to increase its complex-care housing program by 240 units, catering to individuals facing mental health, addiction, and other severe health challenges. The Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions reveals that 200 units will be distributed across various cities, while 40 units will be Indigenous-led. Minister Jennifer Whiteside emphasizes the need for coordinated care to break the cycle of instability. The initiative aims to provide tailored support within a home environment. Kelowna's project, unveiled recently, includes 20 complex-care and supportive housing units, with similar developments slated for other communities. Municipal collaboration, like Kelowna's provision of land, aids in advancing these projects. Since its launch in 2022, B.C.'s complex-care housing has assisted over 400 individuals with significant health needs.✅ .

👉Ontario announced prioritization of public postsecondary programs aligning with high-demand jobs amid federal study permit application caps. 96% of permits will go to public colleges and universities, focusing on fields like skilled trades, healthcare, STEM, and hospitality. French-language enrollment and limiting foreign permits to 55% of 2023 domestic enrollment are key. Institutions must align with 2023 permission levels and support economic growth. A Provincial Attestation Letter is required for most international students, while reforms limit post-graduation work visas for some. $32 million is allocated for mental health support, and new legislation aims to enhance student experiences and safety.✅ .

👉Toronto is actively recruiting approximately 100 frontline workers for its community crisis service addressing mental health emergencies. This initiative marks the city's fourth emergency response service, distinct from the police, paramedics, and fire services. Mayor Olivia Chow expressed pride in the service, highlighting its potential to offer an alternative to police intervention in mental health crises. The expansion of this non-police, community-based response is planned by year-end. With a client-centered and trauma-informed approach, the service received nearly 7,000 calls last year, 78% of which were redirected from 911.✅ .
