This request was recently made on a mental health list that I also
subscribe to. The person making that request, Jennifer Pyke, is based
in Toronto. Her contact information is:

Fax (416) 482-5237.
Her email address is [log in to unmask]
I am a lawyer in Toronto working at a legal clinic dealing solely with
disability rights issues and would be interested in what you find as
well. Toronto does have a diversion program. Jennifer might be able to
provide you with useful information.
Hope this helps.
