In this episode of Division Street, Sayyida interviews Justine McIsaac, Consumption and Treatment Services Coordinator of the Integrated Care Hub (ICH).

On February 7, our staff participated at the in person 2023 Pre-Budget Consultations in Kingston hosted by the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs (SCFEA). You can read the presented remarks which focus on housing and climate policy here.
The first episode of Division Street highlights Kingston’s Sleeping Cabin Project: The challenges, the successes. Sayyida Jaffer interviews Chrystal Wilson, Executive Director of Our Livable Solutions, and Care Coordinator Mark Sousa about their personal experience with the project. This episode will air on YourTV for a two week period starting January 30 at 8pm.
What is causing homelessness in Kingston? Why are we facing a drug poisoning crisis? What does it mean to be food insecure? How are people responding to unaffordable rents? Division Street is a new YourTV series that probes these questions. But it does so in a different way.
Division Street’s examination of Kingston’s frayed social fabric premieres Monday January 30 at 8pm and continues to early April. It is co-hosted by local Journalist Jamie Swift and Sayyida Jaffer of the Providence Centre.
