Hamilton's city council declared a state of emergency on Thursday over homelessness, opioid addiction and mental health issues in the city.
A motion approving the emergency call does not immediately compel the southern Ontario city to launch new programs to redress the widening crises.
Those include expanding services and harm reduction programs for people suffering from addiction, after a January report showed opioid-related deaths and overdoses in Hamilton had “increased exponentially.”
