Here is a recording and resources from our webinar on safe injection sites with DJ Larkin, Executive Director of the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition. Safe injection sites, also known as overdose prevention sites and/or supervised consumption sites, are under a major attack from the Ford government who plans to close at least 10 of the 23 supervised consumption sites across Ontario. This webinar discusses what the Ford government has done, the privatization of addictions services, the impacts of these closures, what we can do, and more.
