Manitoba's first supervised consumption site is opening five days a week in Winnipeg after a series of lengthy delays. The site at 366 Henry Ave, in downtown Winnipeg opened at 11 a.m. Tuesday, after several setbacks derailed the province's plans to establish a facility allowing drug users to consume under the supervision of trained staff last year. The province says the site — which will not supply drugs — will reduce the risk of fatal overdoses and other harms while connecting people to resources they need. "This is another tool where people can access supports and services, get on to a path to recovery." The NDP had initially aimed to open the site in 2025. Neighbours and the Progressive Conservatives have also protested against the new site in a provincially owned industrial building west of Main Street, saying they believe it will make the area less safe. Activist and former addict Joseph Fourre said the site only "prolongs the agony of addiction," and resources could have been better used elsewhere.
