Statement submitted to CFRC by the Integrated Care Hub team.

----------------

We are deeply saddened by the news of the incident that occurred
in the Montreal and Railway Street area of Kingston today. Our immediate priority is to support our clients
and individuals in our community who are impacted as well as of course the staff of all our organizations.
Thank you to Kingston Police Services and all Emergency Response providers for responding to this very
difficult and challenging situation.

This is an active police investigation, and to support their ongoing investigation we have been asked to
temporarily close the services of the Integrated Care Hub (ICH) at 661 Montreal Street. This closure will
be effective immediately and is expected to last a couple of days.

Collectively, we are facing the most difficult social problems of our time, and as ever, our focus is on
working with our community to support the most vulnerable.

We are committed to collaborating together with all health, social service, municipal and other sector
partners to find workable solutions for all people.
