Ontarians who are in need of mental health support will soon have more access to it, as premier Doug Ford announced $37 million in funding to expand the services across the province’s justice system in order to cope with rising emergencies amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ford made the announcement at Queen’s Park on Tuesday, together with province’s health minister Christine Elliott, mental health and addictions associate minister Michael Tibollo, and solicitor general Sylvia Jones.
