Why Northern Ontario is ground zero for the opioid crisis
Manage episode 376976317 series 3340809
The overdose epidemic has hit Northern Ontario harder than any other region in the province, with fatal drug poisonings consistently higher year after year. Yet it’s in the north where two safe consumption sites — one in Sudbury, the other in Timmins — are under threat of imminent closure because the Ford government can’t seem to decide whether to fund them. Amber Fritz, who manages “The Spot” in Sudbury, joins Scott and Frisco to talk about the critical services her team provides, and what will happen if they are forced to close the doors. Also on the podcast: Why we’ve decided to bring back commenting on Village Media’s flagship news site (with other sites likely to follow).
