Ontario consumption sites close amid policy shift on drug use

As Ontario's supervised drug consumption sites face closure and funding uncertainty, users fear the loss of a critical lifeline. The Moss Park supervised consumption site in Toronto's downtown core has become more than just a place to safely use drugs—it functions as a refuge, community hub, and walk-in clinic for vulnerable residents. Users like Riley Bisson, who spent nearly three decades in and out of the correctional system, credit the site with helping them stay out of trouble. The province's policy shift puts these essential harm-reduction services in jeopardy.
