Last year, Ryerson Security responded to 75 suspected opioid overdoses on campus — a large increase from 2018, when only 27 incidents were reported. Security personnel administered naloxone — a life-saving drug that reverses the effects of an overdose — in 33 instances during 2019. This represents a 412 per cent increase from 2018, when naloxone was administered only eight times.
