Ex-mayors, advocates slam safe drug consumption site closures as policy failure | CBC News
Briefly

David Crombie criticized the Ford government's decision to close supervised drug consumption sites, arguing it represents a failed policy that disregards vital harm reduction services.
The Ford government's plan to close five Toronto consumption sites by 2025 is driven by a strict interpretation of proximity to schools, limiting community safety measures.
Community advocates stress that supervised consumption sites not only protect individuals using substances but also enhance safety for the broader community, countering the overdose crisis.
As the province shifts toward a model focusing on treatment and recovery, many believe that removing supervised consumption sites undermines crucial harm reduction strategies.
