Statement on consumption sites
October 17, 2024
Family Service Toronto has released a public statement urging the Ontario government to revisit its recent decision to shut down at least five supervised consumption sites in Toronto by March 2025.
“Supervised consumption sites save lives and allow people who use substances to know that they are respected and valued, and that their safety and well-being matters,” it states.
“We believe further public dialogue and careful examination of this policy decision is in the best interest of those who use drugs as well as the broader community,” the statement concludes.
