The Strategy
We consulted across Peterborough City & County, local experts, and international research to develop a plan to reduce the harm associated with alcohol and other drug use.

There are many harms associated with substance use. Understanding the complexities can help improve the way we support individuals in our lives.

Peterborough Regional Health Centre
Peterborough Regional Heath Centre (PRHC) is pleased to announce the recent opening of the area’s first Rapid Access Addiction Medicine (RAAM) clinic, which provides expedited, barrier-free treatment for patients who are addicted to alcohol or opioids.
“Our Rapid Access Addiction Medicine clinic provides immediate access to lifesaving treatment by offering same-day counselling and addiction medication, and prescription therapies,” said Dr. Jim McGorman, an Emergency Department physician with PRHC who is now also treating patients at the new clinic. “This care model has been shown to help save lives by engaging patients with both short- and long-term therapies as soon as they are ready to pursue those treatments.”

The Peterborough Police Service wants to better understand issues related to diversity, inclusion and safety in the three jurisdictions we serve; Peterborough, Lakefield and Cavan Monaghan. To help us please use this link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/D-Incl-Safety and complete the survey.
This survey is anonymous. You do not have to identify yourself. We know that not everyone wants to report directly to police and so we need this survey to help us. Especially if you have experienced or witnessed an incident in our region motivated by bias, prejudice or hate, based on: race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, language, or any other similar factor. We want to know about your experience whether or not you think the incident was criminal in nature and regardless of whether or not police were involved.
Please help us by sharing this message and the survey link with your networks.
The survey is being conducted by Peterborough Police Service Community Development Coordinator Peter Williams. Peter is a civilian member of the Service and is, in part, responsible for ensuring effective partnerships as well as community engagement and relations. The survey data will be analyzed by Peter and to assure confidentiality, the individual surveys will not be shared. Only rolled-up/collated data will be shared with police and public groups for the purpose of training and education. These groups may include the Peterborough Police Services Board, Police Administration, and as the community.
If you would like a copy of the final report please email pwilliams@peterborough.ca.
Individual survey data will be kept on Surveymonkey.com and a secure server for no more than one year and then deleted. All rolled-up/compiled data will be kept on a secure server by Peterborough Police for up to 3 years.
You may also arrange to complete this survey by phone or in person. While this may feel less anonymous than online, no one will ask for identifying information and none will be collected.
To arrange for a phone or in person survey or for more information please contact Peter Williams 705-876-1122 x 290 or pwilliams@peterborough.ca.
This survey will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete and will be open until May 6th, 2018.

For more information about next steps please contact Peter Williams 705-876-1122 x 290 or pwilliams@peterborough.ca.
