Ten of seventeen supervised consumption sites are set to close in March of 2025, shutdowns that harm reduction advocates say will be “deadly.”
To call for these closures to be overturned— healthcare providers, front-line workers and advocates lay on the concrete in front of the Ontario legislative building in collective action on Monday, and to bear witness to lives lost to the drug poisoning crisis.
“We know that these sites save lives and we’re determined to stop that legislation from being put on the table and for our services to be protected,” says Marina Claussen with the Harm Reduction Advocacy Collective.
