A supervised consumption site in Edmonton has had its permit revoked, again.
In a statement to CityNews, the Boyle Street Community said, “Today, we received the disappointing news regarding our overdose prevention site, known as Wolf Den. This decision denies essential services for those we serve.”
“The critical support that overdose prevention sites provide is needed now more than ever. As we move forward, we will take the necessary time to consult with legal counsel and deliberate on our next steps.”
Adding, “Our commitment to exploring all possible avenues remains unwavering, ensuring that this essential service is available in our community.”
This is not the first time the site has had their permit revoked. Last year, Boyle Street Community Services lost their permit to start renovating their Strathcona Health Hub.
