As people in Kenora, Ont., continue to grapple with high rates of addiction and drug overdoses, CBC News spoke to three individuals who say a safe consumption site is necessary as an emergency measure to keep drug users safe.
Last year, the Northwestern Health Unit had a safe consumption services feasibility study done for four communities. The results have been delayed until later this March. Meanwhile, community advocates in Kenora are calling for action now amid rising overdoses and HIV cases.
