OTTAWA, ON, Dec. 2, 2025 /CNW/ – Twenty-one Canadian law enforcement agencies and government partners worked together to intensify their efforts to keep dangerous substances out of our communities. Over the course of five months, partners collaborated with a collective goal of disrupting illegal fentanyl production and distribution in Canada. This initiative, dubbed the National Fentanyl Sprint 2.0 (the “Sprint 2.0”) was coordinated and endorsed by the Canadian Integrated Response to Organized Crime (CIROC) and resulted in the reported seizure of a total of 386 kg of fentanyl, significant amounts of other illicit drugs and led to 8,136 reported arrests and charges.
The Sprint 2.0 ran from May 20 to October 31, 2025, and mobilized law enforcement agencies across Canada to focus their enforcement efforts on fentanyl traffickers, targeting production labs, distribution networks and financial enablers. The Sprint 2.0 emphasized the importance of financial investigations, recognizing that dismantling the economic infrastructure of organized crime is a strong deterrent and the key to long-term success.
CIROC agencies conducted bail compliance checks, tracked seizures and charges, as well as shared information with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) and other partners abroad.
Today, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Assistant Commissioner Bonnie Ferguson and the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) Deputy Director General Benoit Dubé – co-chairs of CIROC – announced the results of the Sprint 2.0.
During the Sprint 2.0, law enforcement from more than 100 agencies across Canada reported 8,136 arrests and charges, and the seizure of large quantities of drugs and other commodities, including but not limited to:
- 386 kg of fentanyl
- 270 kg of precursor chemicals
- 217 individuals arrested for trafficking fentanyl while on bail
- $13.46 million in cash
- 5,989 kg of cocaine
- 1,708 kg of methamphetamine
