Less than two weeks after Montreal's first safe drug use site opened in the St-Henri neighbourhood, some neighbours say cohabitation has quickly become a concern.
"If the security is not done like they say, I'm going to refuse to let my child go to school"
Many who attended the meeting said they showed up in an attempt to learn more about the supervised drug-use site, while others were there to protest the project.
The building nearing completion is only steps away from the school which counts 300 students from preschool through Grade 6.
Worried parents say they were blindsided by a decision to open Montreal's first supervised drug-inhalation facility less than 100 metres from their children's school.
