Supervised consumption site
A safer place to use your drugs
No appointment, no ID, and nobody watching the door. Staff are trained to respond immediately if something goes wrong — the goal is to keep you safe.

What happens when you walk in
Fear of the unknown keeps people away. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.
01
Check in
A staff member says hi at the front desk. First visit, they'll ask you to create a code name you'd like to go by. No ID, no appointment. You'll be asked a few questions to help serve you best.
02
Get your drugs checked
If you want to, find out what is actually in your supply before you use it.
03
Use at a booth
Five booths, each with a mirror, good light and clean equipment. An inhalation room too. You bring your own drugs; we provide everything else.
04
Take your time
Afterwards there's a place to sit, a mug of something warm, and staff nearby. Relax or use the computer. Trained people are on hand the whole time if anything goes wrong. You can also access snacks, hygiene supplies, referrals to services, first aid, and safer use supplies.
The site has an exemption from Health Canada under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, which allows you to bring your own substances into the site for personal consumption or drug checking.
Curious how the site is going? The Supervised Consumption Site Evaluation Report 2025 is public, in the resource library.
