LOLG Successful in Obtaining Injunctive Relief for Supervised Consumption Sites Operating in Ontario
Overview
On March 28, 2025, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice released its decision in The Neighbourhood Group et al. v. HMKRO, granting an interlocutory injunction that exempts all existing supervised consumption sites from section 2 of the Community Care and Recovery Act, 2024 (“CCRA”). The CCRA, which will come into force on April 1, 2025, will ban all supervised consumption sites within 200 metres of schools and childcare centres, and would have required the immediate closure of ten sites across Ontario, including five in Toronto. The injunction, however, will allow all existing sites to continue operating in Ontario until 30 days following the release of the Court’s decision on the merits.
Rahool acted for the applicants, alongside co-counsel from Stockwoods LLP and Nanda & Company. The decision can be found here.
