An Act to proclaim Recovery Month

Preamble By proclaiming the month of September as Recovery Month, the Province of Ontario recognizes that people and families across the province often face challenges related to their addictions and mental health but can recover and be treated effectively. While l eaders and organizations across the global mental health and addictions sector mark September as Recovery Month, the Governments of Canada and Ontario have yet to proclaim this month to recognize and support Ontarians recovering from addiction.

While Ontario continues its battle against opioid use and addictions, Recovery Month will increase public awareness of the types of addictions Ontarians face every day and encourage people to seek help. By proclaiming Recovery Month here in Ontario, individuals and families affected by addiction may begin to realize they are not alone, and that there are many people and organizations willing to help them in their recovery journey.

Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly o f the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows: Recovery Month The month of September in each year is proclaimed as Recovery Month. Commencement This Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent.

Short title The

short title of this Act is the Recovery Month Act, 2021. ______________ EXPLANATORY NOTE The Bill proclaims the month of September in each year as Recovery Month.
