THUNDER BAY – The City of Thunder Bay appears ready to embrace strategies like decriminalization and safer supply initiatives in fighting a worsening opioid crisis, but could face barriers from provincial and federal governments less enthusiastic about those approaches.
Responding to a package of bold harm reduction strategies proposed by Coun. Aldo Ruberto over the summer, city administration suggested endorsing safer supply initiatives, a recommendation city council unanimously supported Monday.
“I really think this is the right direction to take care of the most vulnerable people, and to save lives,” Coun. Peng You said, a sentiment echoed by several colleagues.
