A report regarding funding for a proposed supervised consumption site in Sault Ste. Marie will be released 'in the very near future,' says CAO Malcolm White
Even if the City of Sault Ste. Marie rubber-stamped the spending of municipal dollars to build a supervised consumption and treatment centre, there is currently no way forward on the project because the province has put a pause on new applications for the sites.
Northern Ontario municipalities Timmins and Sudbury funded the startup and operation of safe consumption sites in their communities using municipal dollars with the hopes the provincial government would come forward and take over funding the projects. So far, that approach has not been effective and the operator of Sudbury's site says it will close Dec. 31 if those provincial dollars are not forthcoming.
When asked why it was not on this week's agenda as expected, White said the path to develop and implement a safe consumption and treatment facility requires partnerships with organizations in the community, as the city is not positioned to govern or operate the facility. In a story last month, Shoemaker told SooToday the decision by the province to hold off on new applications will likely affect the eventual Sault Ste. Marie application.
