The provincial government has approved a new safe consumption site for southwestern Ontario.

She says it will help prevent overdose deaths and connect people who use drugs to primary care and rehabilitation services.

The site will be the 16th approved to operate in Ontario, and the first since the government said last year it would cap the number of safe consumption sites at 21. Elliott said at the time the government would spend just over $31 million a year on supervised consumption sites. Statistics from Public Health Ontario released last month show 1,473 people died from opioid-related causes in 2018, a jump of about 17 per cent from the previous year.

It's a joke how our government encourages drug use. How about rehab instead of place to shoot up.

I dont want this.Who can tell me why they want this in the same town where their children live?

You can shoot up in more places then where you can have a cigarette

Oh miss use of a word I get it. Consumption is TB deadly lung disease.

What is TB back aka Consumption.

How about making them volunteer, having to earn something might give them a reason to improve themselves

No society has ever made it viable. Stupid article. “Waaah I don’t feel validated”. So what!!!! Here is a fun fact. 100% of the polyamorous couples that gave birth were in fact biological women.
