real options. Frontline Recovery steps in with a proactive, boots-on-the-ground approach, meeting people in encampments, shelters, food banks, and on the streets to provide outreach, recovery navigation, and connections to shelter and treatment through trusted partners. Though recently established, Frontline Recovery has already helped individuals access treatment and support through its Help Line, social media outreach, and in-person engagement. Building on the success of their Winter Clothing Drive, they are expanding initiatives and coordinating new outreach efforts to support our KW community.

My colleague Frank Caputo, MP for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo, has introduced a new private member’s bill C-225 that passed second reading. The bill would classify the murder of an intimate partner as first-degree murder in all cases, create a new offence for assaulting an intimate partner, and Allow judges to order risk assessments for individuals charged with intimate partner violence while on release. These efforts, local and national, are working toward the same goal: breaking the cycle of domestic violence. Solutions together will make a difference

This wasn’t about enabling, it was about accountability, healing, and ensuring that rehabilitation is more than a word. It’s about action, outcomes, and support that truly helps people move forward.

We need policies that prioritize effective rehabilitation, protect communities, and give people the tools they need to change their lives for the better. Thank you to Mayor Liggett and all the courageous voices who made this conference so impactful. Your leadership is helping drive the change we need.

There is hope for a better quality of life in abstinence based rehabilitation.
