The TDTC operates on a foundation based on three distinct partners.

• Court
• Clinical treatment providers – (Centre for Addictions and Mental Health, CAMH)
• Community stakeholders

This model has been maintained since the program was founded and has played a critical part in its success.

The roles of each partner are as follows:

Court personnel include:
• Presiding judge
• Federal/Crown Prosecutor
• Paralegal/Crown’s Assistant
• Duty Counsel
• Probation and Parole Officer
• Police Liaison
• Court Clerk

Community Stakeholders
The TDTC created the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) to specifically address the issues and needs of community stakeholders. The CAC also provides support and advise the program. Membership includes representatives from the TDTC court team, the treatment team, and program alumni.
