Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek has expressed concerns about the effectiveness of the city's supervised consumption site, arguing that it is not addressing drug poisonings adequately. Gondek stated that a more distributed model would be more effective and that the city has been waiting for provincial action to address the issue.
Calgary 's mayor says a supervised consumption site isn't working, but the city is waiting for the province to take action.
In an emailed statement Friday, Mental Health and Addictions Minister Dan Williams said the province is willing to engage with communities about the discussion around closing drug consumption sites and listen to the feedback. "We already have. So, what you're going to do with the safe consumption site in your ministry is something that you need to make a decision on," she said.
