In a crisis the facts are gathered, solutions are identified, and plans are enacted.
Prince George is in crisis. The number of people facing addiction and mental health challenges is unprecedented. It’s visible in the makeshift living quarters erected downtown and the lineups at St. Vincent De Paul. Here in Prince George, as of Oct. 31 of this year, the toxic drug supply has already claimed 56 people. If your house is on fire, you don’t want the fire department to come quickly, but not too quickly. You want action now. We are in a crisis and we need action now.
The intent was good. The city needs to meet with these entities to face this crisis but we need more. No specific result was identified, no measurable goals outlined. The debate lacked any tangible deliverables. Without requesting specific results, there is no accountability. The usual political outcome being “meetings, muffins, and minutes.
On July 27, 2020, city council approved exploring the expansion of the RCMP Car 60. This program partners an RCMP officer with a nurse trained in mental health and substance use services. The program has been hailed universally as innovative and successful. While it is available daily, current funding is only from noon to 9 p.m. Additional funding from the province to Northern Health could expand an established and effective program. This could have been request number one.
