Ariel Troster @arieltroster.bsky.social · 20/02/2025The Somerset West Community Health Centre will close its supervised consumption site at the end of this month, after being forced to by the Ford government. It didn’t have to be this way. 26327
Ariel Troster @arieltroster.bsky.social · 20/02/2025The number one concern I hear about in Centretown is the overwhelming presence of homelessness and public drug use. Shutting down the one regulated, safe, indoor place for people to use drugs will only make these problems worse. People need to be alive in order to seek support or treatment. 2262
Mimo Nielsen @mimo-nielsen.bsky.social · 20/02/2025I see them every night in the lobby of my building trying to escape the cold. Because I'm not heartless, I don't ask them to leave unless they're causing a disturbance. It's too damn cold to force people to sleep outside. 000
Ariel Troster @arieltroster.bsky.social · 20/02/2025The team at the Somerset West Community Health Centre will work hard to navigate this transition, and the city will also be stepping up our own outreach services. But the move away from supervised consumption was a rash, populist decision that was pushed through by a government that ignores data. 0194
