I'm am writing to express my concerns regarding the POP up injection site in the Raphel Bruner Park. I contacted the city and police regarding the site because as an adult with a voice of reason for the concerns of children in mind. They have no voice. I am now aware the youth ate no longer able to use the park because of the POP up. This group of individuals are contavening the laws on municipal, city, provincial and the federal level. They do not have the approval under the Health Care Act or an exemption under the Criminal Code of Canada to operate such a site. I am by no means against the fundamental principals of the need for a sanctioned SIS. However when such individuals recklessly disgard the laws of which this country are based are bluntly ignored then I have a real and justified concern. I also do not believe in enabling the addict (client as such sites prefer to call the individuals) accessing the service of such sites. I fought long and hard to ensure the safety of the north east area of my neighbourhood of Sandy Hill. I spoke with youth last Friday evening who are now scared to use the park, again they have no voice either and must rely on adult to speak for them. I apolgise I was not able to attend your meeting this evening. I trust that your voices were strong and that this site will be removed and that those in need of this service will wait until such time as the SIS is up and running at the SHCHC. Please know that you have my full co-operation and support against this initiative. Thank you for taking the time to read my comments.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
