Health Canada has opened the 2025 call for proposals (CFP) for the Emergency Treatment Fund (ETF). Organizations across the country have until November 4, 2025, to submit applications for funding. The department will assess applications based on the urgency of the community's need, as well as applicants' readiness to respond quickly.
Through the ETF, the Government of Canada helps municipalities and First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities address urgent needs related to the overdose crisis. The ETF funds projects that address immediate needs, as identified by the communities, related to substance use and the overdose crisis to support local capacity and provide access to culturally-relevant, trauma-informed and evidence-based programs and services.
The Government of Canada is supporting communities most impacted by the overdose crisis and toxic illegal drug supply, where and when it is needed most.
