The people behind a temporary unsanctioned drug inhalation site in Surrey this week say it’s likely they’ll open it back up again as they try to meet the needs of the community.
The Surrey Union of Drug Users says the demand for a safe place to use is far greater than what’s being offered by official sources.
The Union’s community organizer Anmol Swaich explains the only facility in the community right now closes at 9 p.m., and it’s not convenient for a lot of people looking for a safe site.
Swaich says the group is also looking for a permanent facility, pressuring the province to purchase land for the site.
More to come.
