School officials in the B.C. community of the Cowichan Valley have launched an investigation after a “safe snorting kit” was left behind after a presentation.
Cowichan Valley School District’s director of communications Mike Russel confirmed a third-party organization left the kit behind after its presentation.
The school district is not naming the school or the third-party organization.
Cowichan Valley School District staff said while it does support harm reduction, the “materials” left behind do not meet the threshold for teachings appropriate for students.
