Prairie Harm Reduction has been seeking government funding for its supervised consumption sites for four straight years.
Kayla Demong, Prairie Harm Reduction’s executive director, was disappointed to see no funding for the supervised consumption sites again in the 2023-24 provincial budget.
“The safe consumption site isn’t just a place where people come and use, it’s a community here and it’s a place where people come and use their substances with the support of our paramedic and our staff,” DeMong said.
“But they’re also connected to other services that we have here and are assisted with whatever they are asking for help with.”
