Rebecca Penn (she/her) works at the London InterCommunity Health Centre as the project manager for the National Safer Supply Community of Practice and Substance Use Health Network.

Rebecca lives in the traditional and ongoing territory of Mi'kmaqi, the land colonially known as Nova Scotia.

Rebecca has worked in harm reduction for more than 25 years, wearing different hats (e.g., frontline service provider, researcher, consultant, knowledge mobilizer) and in different contexts (e.g., shelters, mental health and justice, academia, government). From Rebecca's perspective, accountability and collaboration are key to transforming policies, practices, systems, and institutions to ensure that the world is a better place for people who use drugs and the communities in which they are a part of.
