Public health workers worry that northeastern Ontario will continue to have higher opioid-related mortality rates than the rest of the province as supervised consumption sites lose their funding.
Study in The Lancet shows dramatic results within 500 metres of supervised consumption sites after they opened.
Principals say they are finding it harder to attract foreign teachers from traditional source countries like the UK and Canada.
