The Ontario government is ending financial support for seven supervised drug consumption sites this June, as the province continues to shift focus from harm reduction to treatment and abstinence.
Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced the funding cut in a March 16 press release after the province sent a letter about the change to the affected sites on March 13. All seven of the sites are located in communities where the province’s new homelessness and addiction recovery treatment (HART) hubs exist.
