The Northwestern Health Unit is looking for feedback on safe injection sites in the region.
A survey is now being conducted on supervised consumption sites.
These are legally sanctioned spaces where people are allowed to use pre-obtained illegal drugs in a clean, safe, and supportive environment.
No illegal drugs can be acquired on site.
The hope is to reduce overdose-related injuries and death, help reduce public drug use and improperly discarded needles, and minimize the risks related to sharing or reusing drug-use equipment.
The Health Unit is doing a feasibility study to assess the need for these services in Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances, and Sioux Lookout.
