Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim not satisfied with location of new overdose prevention site

The mayor of Vancouver says the city is disappointed about the new location of an overdose prevention site in the downtown core.

Vancouver Coastal Health said in a statement earlier Wednesday that the site had officially opened at its new location on the 1000 block of Howe Street, though there is no signage. The health authority says daily visits to the site are up 150 per cent since it opened, and it has reversed more than 200 drug overdoses.
