Wâhkôhtowin Harm Reduction

Provides education, information and supplies to reduce harm.

• Monday – Sunday from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm. Closed statutory holidays.

Drug testing:

• Drug testing with a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer which identifies what is in a drug and alerts people about whether there are any contaminants – such as fentanyl – and if so, how much is present.  In-person drug checking is first come first served and takes 10-15 minutes on average.  The wait could be longer if there are tests ahead of yours.
• Staff are on hand to provide information about substances and safer consumption practices

Safe consumption site:

• Indigenous-led Harm Reduction and Safe Consumption site
• Preventing overdoses and adverse medical effects associated with drug use by supporting individuals 18+ who use drugs under the observation of a Primary Care Paramedic

Clients can access a place to warm up or cool down, breakfast and a coffee at 9:30 am (while supplies last), water, hot tea, computer, phone and washroom use.
