The province has quietly announced that two supervised drug consumption sites in Toronto must close as of Monday. In a press release, the province announced it would be approving only 15 supervised drug consumption sites after Minister of Health Christine Elliott earlier promised a review. An accompanying list left off a total of six proposed sites across the province, four of which were already operating. The evidence is clear — supervised consumption sites save people’s lives.” Toronto Public Health’s The Works on Victoria St. was also left off the list. “In the meantime, TPH will continue to offer its current supervised consumption services (SCS) and other harm reduction services,” said the spokesperson in an email.
