Oxford County Situation Table to Provide Community Update

Thursday, 7 October 2021 05:48

The Oxford County Situation Table is hosting a virtual community update on October 28th and you can now register for the free event online.

OXFORD COUNTY - The Oxford County Situation Table is inviting everyone to sit in on the annual community report.

Guest speakers include the Executive Director of Community Justice Karyn McCluskey who will be speaking virtually from Scotland. She is the founding member of the Situation Table, as they have chapters all over the world. 

Chair of the Oxford Situation Table Working Committee Sarah Irwin is the other guest speaker. The Oxford Situation Table meets every week and Irwin says they have a goal to help people at risk in our community.

"We are a social service and justice group that gets together and try to help people, community and families that are experiencing a situation of risk or emergency and help them through out services." 

The community report will go over all of the work they are doing in Oxford County. Irwin says the pandemic has hit a lot of people hard and some of the hardships may come as a surprise to residents.

"People may be surprised to hear just how devastating the opioid crisis has been in Oxford County in the last year and half and how our table is functioning, in comparison to the rest of the Province." 

The free virtual event is happening on Thursday October 28th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. They do ask people to register beforehand, which you can do online here.
