Toronto to see more emergency calls after supervised drug-use sites close: top doctor

Toronto’s acting medical officer of health says emergency services will see an increase in calls after new provincial laws shutter five supervised drug-use sites in the city this spring.Dr. Na-Koshie Lamptey is recommending that the city’s board of health urge the province to expand access to supervised drug-use sites that comply with the new rules, including at existing sites that are expected to continue operating.But in addition to shutting down 10 supervised drug-use sites across Ontario due to their proximity to schools and daycares, the provincial government has banned new sites from opening altogether.
