Vancouver city council votes to allow safe inhalation sites
June 17, 2025
Vancouver city council voted Tuesday to amend health bylaws to allow for indoor supervised drug inhalation at two sites, expanding access to the harm-reduction measure for people who smoke illicit substances.The decision clears one of the final hurdles for the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS to operate public supervised smoking and inhalation booths at its Hope to Health clinic in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. It also enables Vancouver Coastal Health to pilot an indoor inhalation booth at a supportive housing building, exclusively for residents.
