Mayor responds to latest death rates from Ontario Coroner; 'It seems the further away you got from the Ministry of Health’s head offices in Toronto, the worse your statistics are'
Sault Ste. Marie’s mayor says the city’s consistently high rates of opioid-related deaths only proves that more needs to be done to make additional services available to people living with addiction.
Asked for his reaction to the Sault’s continually high rates of opioid-related deaths, Mayor Matthew Shoemaker expressed his frustration. “He is in support of these kinds of services and we need to strategize how our municipality can get its share of provincial funding,” he said. A supervised consumption site and the return of the concurrent disorders day treatment program are on the top of Shoemaker’s list to complement the services currently available in the Sault.
