Drug Strategy Network of Ontario

The Drug Strategy of Ontario (DSNO) (formerly Municipal Drug Strategy Coordinator's Network of Ontario - MDSCNO) aims to reduce the harms of substance use in Ontario. It is a place for collaboration and information exchange, and for developing strategies that lend support to provincial, regional, and local community initiatives.

The DSNO is also a place for peer-to-peer support and connection, with a focus on strengthening and sustaining local drug strategy governance, communications, human resources, and fundraising.

The DSNO was established in 2008 and its members live and work in more than 160 urban, northern, rural, remote, and Indigenous communities across Ontario, representing a combined population of more than seven-million people. With a wide range of substance use related expertise, the network coordinates more than forty local, cross-sectoral, community, municipal or regional-based drug strategies.
