Summary
Vancouver Coastal Healths new overdose prevention site at Helmcken Street faces opposition and potential lawsuit due to alleged lack of community consultation, despite claims of consulting city staff and business reps. Mayor Ken Sim and local business groups express concerns, while the province supports these services, citing increased street overdoses and ambulance calls from closures elsewhere. The new site, set to launch in June, aims to address high overdose rates with additional indoor space and support staff. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
