City of Nanaimo promises to consult community on possible safe injection site
NANAIMO — The city of Nanaimo vows the public will get their say if a controversial harm reduction strategy proposal is made locally.
The city’s social planner John Horn says supervised injection drug site discussions between Island Health and the city are in the early stages.
He says a detailed public consultation process would happen if a proposal came forward.
“Recognizing that this is a fairly substantial issue and has lots of impact in our community, that we would work with our partners Island Health to develop a broadly consultative process,” Horn said.
