Supervised consumption site now fully open in Winnipeg
✦AI Summary
A supervised drug consumption site has opened in downtown Winnipeg to help reduce fatal overdoses and connect users with support services. The project has faced significant opposition from local residents and political critics who question the lack of accompanying treatment infrastructure.
The site at 366 Henry Ave. in downtown Winnipeg opened at 11 a.m. Tuesday, after several setbacks derailed the province's plans to establish a facility allowing drug users to consume under the supervision of trained staff last year.
