Public Forum on Supervised Consumption Services in Victoria

Wednesday, June 17th, 6:30 - 8pm (doors 6pm)

First Metropolitan Church – 932 Balmoral Road

Supervised Consumption Services save lives. SCS gives people a safer place to use drugs, the opportunity to connect with health and social services, access first aid and nursing care and build essential relationships with outreach workers to access housing, detox and recovery services.

We’ve invited speakers to share with us what SCS could look like in Victoria, as part of a larger discussion of how communities can work together to support this essential health service. See you there!

Moderated by Gregor Craigie of CBC's On the Island

Speakers:

Marianne Alto Councillor, City of Victoria & Director, CRD

Katie Lacroix Chair, yes2scs Peer Advisory Committee

Bernie Pauly Scientist, Centre for Addictions Research of BC

Bruce Wallace Assistant Professor, UVic School of Social Work
