There may be the political will to support such a site, but finding the dollars to start one up continues to be a challenge for the group leading the charge to build it
All four candidates for mayor say they will support an application for a supervised consumption site to be built in Sault Ste. Marie and the city’s member of provincial parliament promises to do everything he can to make it happen.
“No existing organization seemed to want to take on the challenge of starting a consumption site, so I just did it myself,” said Beck. “We have a significant amount of support, we just don’t have the money.” “We met with them over Zoom and gave them an opportunity to share with us why they were running, what is important to them and their campaign. That’s how we opened each meeting,” said Beck. “Then we introduced ourselves and allowed an opportunity to answer questions along the way.”
Matthew Shoemaker said he has been doing research on the sites, including attending a recent information session by Willow held over Zoom.
