It's anticipated Saskatchewan’s first supervised consumption site will reach it's daily client capacity once winter arrives.

Drug overdose deaths in Saskatchewan have nearly tripled since 2010, when 78 people died.

“If you don’t believe in safe consumption sites, you’re basically advocating for people to die,” a front-line worker says.

AIDS Saskatoon was denied full funding for a supervised consumption site but is focused on helping the city's vulnerable through the coronavirus pandemic.

The event is put on by AIDS Saskatoon and OUTSaskatoon to raise awareness around AIDS and HIV while also supporting prevention and education programs.
