BARRIE, ONT. The City of Barrie is one step closer to finalizing what would be Barrie s first supervised consumption site. The plans to move forward come with conflicting views on the program and its location from multiple stakeholders on both sides. Although the proposed site is currently empty at 11 Innisfil Street, it could soon be the new home for the supervised consumption site. On Tuesday, Barrie council s general committee gave this location a tentative green light, which would offer services to those struggling with opioid addiction. Mayor Jeff Lehman notes that the community has seen people dying at alarming rates during the COVID-19 crisis than ever before, and they were already being lost at a frightening rate.
