WINNIPEG A councillor is pushing the City of Winnipeg to study all options in the potential creation of a supervised consumption site, despite the province’s refusal to back such centres.
Coun. Sherri Rollins raised a motion Thursday, calling for the city to explore funding, partnership and implementation alternatives to establish a low-barrier, supervised drug consumption site.
Westman Families of Addicts board member Lonnie Patterson says opening up a safe consumption site in Brandon before medical detox beds are opened would be putting the cart before the horse. (File)
