TORONTO – Toronto Public Health has released a report suggesting the city should create supervised safe injection sites for drug users.
The report says research from Vancouver, Australia and Europe shows that safe injection sites are effective in addressing public health issues associated with drug addiction.
The public health agency says a new pilot project would integrate safe injection services into existing health services.
Safe injection sites encourage drug users to inject with sterile needles, reducing the risk of disease transmission.
The city’s Board of Health will consider the report on July 10.
