18 years of watching kindness, compassion, and community transform landscapes. 18 years of holding space with those who came before us and those who are here now. Thank you to all who have supported us and supported our community of people who use substances. ❤

#Insite was the first legal safer consumption site in North America and today continues to support its community and the needs of those who live in the #DTES. Thousands of lives have been saved and thousands more changed by walking through these doors. @PHScss @VCHhealthcare
“'Safehouse’s purpose is … to provide life-saving care for people suffering from addiction.'” By comparison, she said, an emergency room does not exist to promote heart attacks, but to treat them." thestar.com/news/world/us/…
18,500 lives lost. Harm reduction comes in many forms. We are but one piece of the greater picture. Safe supply saves lives too.
@ZoeDodd The reach of our overdose crisis cannot be overstated. For every death, a network of broken friends and family members, traumatized harm reduction and front line workers. We have lost more than 18,500 Canadians to overdoses since Jan 2016.

Overdose prevention sites reduce needle litter, public injecting, provide a place to pee, reduce loitering, increase access to treatment, reduce hospital use

New publication out in @JSADJournal. So honoured for this to be my first lead author academic publication with @AdamPalayew, @SofiaRB_88, @tdbrothers, @touesy & @DrMtyndall as co-authors. jsad.com/doi/full/10.15… Decriminalization is always possible if there is political will.
We are so proud to have been serving the community for 17 years! The double crisis rages on around us, and we have seen so many come and go over the years. No matter what we go through, we are always strongest together. All the love from us to you.

@ClifBar! Thanks for feeding the people. Slash, our Chill Supervisor, is very happy indeed.
Food speaks to everyone. It is such a beautiful communication of community, care and comfort. Thank you for feeding the people! aptnnews.ca/2020/05/04/i-c…
Thanks so much to @Punkrockpastrys for the front line worker sweet treats! We hope everyone is staying as safe as they can out there.
🙌🏼 Stunning photos of an incredibly dedicated and driven group of #frontlineworkers in the time of COVID. 🙌🏼

Thanks, @Greenpeace for supporting #frontlineworkers and donating masks! 💚
This is the four year anniversary that marks our overdose crisis in BC. We have lost 4700 to fatal overdose since then. 3900 detected fentanyl. In 2019, 87% of these deaths occurred inside. Promote access to safe supply. It addresses a need and helps us address -both- crises.
