Community steps up for Prairie Harm Reduction drug consumption site after Sask gov t refuses

Posted: Apr 23, 2021 4:00 AM CT | Last Updated: April 23 A demonstrator holds a sign reading protect humanity as they rally in support of Prairie Harm Reduction on April 7.(Matt Garand/CBC) Saskatchewan s government chose not to support Saskatoon s supervised consumption site, so community members are stepping up to fill in that gap.  Prairie Harm Reduction s supervised consumption site, which allows people to use drugs with safe instruments and in the presence of a paramedic in case the supply is contaminated, was left out of the recent provincial budget. PHR also serves community members living with addiction, housing or mental health challenges.  I don t think it s too late for them to do the right thing, executive director Jason Mercredi said. We need provincial funding.The province knows they should be funding us.
