The task force was launched at a news conference on Friday and will be chaired by Community and Social Services Minister Jeremy Nixon.
Nixon said he commends the City of Calgary and non-profit organizations for working on the front lines to deal with addictions and homelessness in the city.
“By working with our partners in Calgary, I am confident that we will see positive impacts on the entire community,” Nixon said.“The collaborative steps we are taking through this task force will help many individuals recover from addiction, find housing support and get their lives back.” Milliken said the province is considering “all options” for drug and alcohol addictions treatment but stopped short of saying whether or not the government is considering legislation to admit intoxicated people into involuntary treatment if they are being held by police or social agencies.Milliken also said the government will be tracking the success of the task force using detailed data and records.
