Now that more than a month has passed since Ontario’s Conservative government announced the province would be closing 10 of its 17 supervised injection sites, there is some very interesting manoeuvring going on in harm reduction circles.

The injection site that I live across the street from, in the South Riverdale Community Health Centre, just east of downtown Toronto, has a particularly pressing conundrum. The province has given South Riverdale and the other nine sites being closed for being within 200 metres of schools and daycares until March 31, 2025, to wind down their operations.
