""There are so many people that I worry about day in and day out. I lose sleep over this. We can't meet their immediate needs and they are being pushed out. They feel abandoned by the system.""
""That is a service that we used to provide on site here. We can no longer.""
The Regent Park Community Health Centre has seen a rise in overdoses following the closure of supervised consumption sites. Health worker Phoenix Babiak notes the irony of no longer providing drug checking services on-site.

The renovated space now hosts group programming, but immediate needs of users remain unmet, raising concerns about their safety and well-being.
