New Shelter and Overdose Prevention Site Coming to Cheam

New Shelter and Overdose Prevention Site Coming to Cheam

We are excited to share our new Shelter & Overdose Prevention Site (OPS) building arrived this week- which was an awesome sight to see.

Shortly after the setup of the structure is complete, construction and utility connection will take
place and we will diligently work to get the building ready to welcome guests in the weeks following.

The shelter will have a capacity for 20+ guests who will have access to streamlined health and wellness supports. The OPS will aim to significantly reduce the risk of overdose and offer low-barrier access to harm reduction supports. The OPS will be staffed by our Fraser Health partners.

We are very excited to embark on this new journey and to be able to offer our guests a new environment to have their basic needs met while planning for their futures in wellness. More information on official opening dates to follow.

Here are some pictures from the building’s arrival.
