description • Canada experiences excessive opioid mortality, mainly from toxic opioid exposure. • Many interventions have been implemented, but are limited in reach and impact. • ‘Safer opioid distribution’ (SOD) is a crucial preventive measure for overdose. • SOD needs to be implemented for a large, ‘at-risk’ opioid user population. • Other community-based public health interventions may guide SOD organization.
