A potential location has been chosen for a Supervised Consumption Site (SCS) in Barrie.
The site at 19 Innisfil St. (also known as 80 Bradford Street) has been identified as the proposed location.
The Health Unit says the site was chosen after an extensive community consultation process that included online surveys, discussions with key stakeholders including Barrie City Council members, and neighbourhood virtual consultation sessions.
Endorsement of the proposed SCS location will be sought at a presentation to Barrie City Council on May 25, 2021.
If endorsement is received, an application to the federal government for exemption from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and to the provincial government for their approval for funding will be completed and submitted.
