Saskatoon’s supervised drug consumption site says closing its doors for good

SASKATOON — A harm reduction organization in Saskatoon says it’s shutting down completely.

Prairie Harm Reduction says it will no longer operate its drop-in centre, two youth homes and other support services.

The organization’s supervised drug consumption site — which was Saskatoon’s only such facility — is to remain closed after being shuttered last month.

Prairie Harm Reduction recently found itself with a major deficit, and now says it’s clear there is no viable path forward.

The organization says a forensic audit would be required to identify the cause of major financial shortfalls.

Prairie Harm Reduction fired its executive director last month and the province has cut all funding to the organization.
