About Us

In 2017, the Ministry of Mental Health and Addiction’s Overdose Emergency Response Centre (OERC) and the Community Action Initiative (CAI) began support for the development of Community Action Teams (CATs) in response to the toxic drug supply crisis.

Delta Community Action Team was established in 2018 to address the local toxic drug supply crisis and promote substance use prevention through partnerships.​ We currently are comprised of multiple community partners from Delta and our work is informed and led by Delta residents who are People with Lived and Living Experience (PWLLE) with substance use.

 

We strive to achieve the following objectives:

  • Unite the community to identify and tackle the root causes of substance use and overcome obstacles to obtaining support, such as stigma against individuals who use drugs.

  • Identify and address social issues related to substance use

  • Organize and provide information to community agencies to prevent, delay, and reduce substance use

  • Promote mental wellbeing and social connection in the community

  • Promote a strong, healthy, and resilient Delta

Join Our Team!

Meet Our Leaders.

Our leadership team consists of people in Delta with lived substance use experiences either through self or close loved ones. 

We invite residents of Delta with relevant experience to contact us and find out if our team is a good fit for you.
