Réseau ACCESS Network has launched a public advocacy effort to keep The Spot (Sudbury’s supervised consumption site) open
With the future of Sudbury’s only sanctioned supervised consumption site in jeopardy, Réseau ACCESS Network has launched a public advocacy effort to keep it open.
Réseau ACCESS Network operates The Spot, located at 24 Energy Court behind the Lorne Street Beer Store. There have been at least 483 people in the Greater Sudbury area who have died from opioid toxicity since 2013, and there was a 346-per-cent increase between 2018 and 2022, during which the annual death rate jumped from 26 to 116.
The City of Greater Sudbury’s draft budget, which will be tabled Nov. 15 and debated by city council in December, will not include funding for the supervised consumption site. Meanwhile, the provincial government has put all funding applications for supervised consumption sites on hold while they develop new safety protocols following a shooting outside of a site in Toronto in July.
