Before it closed, the city's supervised consumption site was the busiest in Canada. Chris Spearman, mayor of Lethbridge, says the city's crime problem is due to its drug problem. Those efforts didn't stop nearly 1,000 people from protesting outside Lethbridge City Hall in June. Tim Slaney is one of the organizers behind a group trying to bring a supervised consumption site back to Lethbridge. The overdose Prevention Society is in the process of applying for another supervised consumption site that Slaney hopes will be up and running soon.
