After Saskatchewan s government once again declined to support the province s only supervised drug consumption site in this year s budget, supporters of Prairie Harm Reduction (PHR) took to the streets in Saskatoon to show their support for the organization and criticize the government s decision.
Chokecherry Studios organized the physically distanced rally on April 7, and dozens of supporters turned out with signs and banners.
Jason Mercredi is executive director of Prairie Harm Reduction, which runs the consumption site along with a long list of services for people living with addictions, homelessness and trauma in the city s core. He said the community values the work his organization does and want to be heard.
