Tempers flared near an unsanctioned supervised drug injection site that sprung up in Lethbridge over the weekend. At that point, Slaney said they felt it was unsafe to let anyone come in for a supervised injection. The non-profit society had been operating Canada's busiest injection site, which saw on average 500 visits a day to its 13 injection booths and two inhalation rooms. In a joint statement, city officials and the Lethbridge police said they are monitoring the pop up site for illegal activity. "Both the City of Lethbridge and LPS would encourage anyone needing overdose prevention services to visit the Alberta Health sanctioned overdose prevention site, operated by Alberta Health Services in Lethbridge," the statement added.
