A long-awaited city report on supervised injection sites says Hamilton would benefit from a facility where drug users could more safely inject substances like opioids and crystal meth. "Areas outside of Hamilton's downtown core could be serviced with a mobile supervised injection site," the report reads. "I think this confirms the need and the value of a safer injection site in Hamilton," Mayor Fred Eisenberger told CBC News.

Hamilton city council would need to make a similar ask to Health Canada, should councillors decide that's what is best for the city.
