The loudest voices advocating for supervised injection sites in Toronto in a committee room at city hall on Monday were those who could not be there in person. “I think Toronto and for that matter Canada has reached a tipping point when it comes to supervised injection services,” said Councillor Joe Cressy, who chairs the Toronto Drug Strategy Implementation Panel and has pushed for supervised injection since arriving at city hall. Business owners, residents and those with experience with drug use came to the board of health Monday to advocate for supervised injection services. McNeil had planned to speak Monday in support of supervised injection. “Had (supervised injection services) existed last year, my brother Brad would still be alive today,” Leigh Chapman said.
