Ontario to shut 10 drug use sites near schools and shift to treatment
Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced Ontario will close 10 consumption and treatment sites, ban new sites near schools, and end safer supply programs. The move aims to expand treatment hubs, with legislation in the fall to restrict new sites, amid criticism of potential rise in overdoses. A Toronto shooting near a site spurred reviews and safety concerns for communities and youngsters.
