Vancouver Coastal Health has responded to Richmond's vote to explore a supervised consumption site.
"Based on the latest Public Health data, a stand-alone supervised consumption site is not the most appropriate service for those at risk of overdose in Richmond."

Look at all those signatures.
That's a lot of votes to lose, isn't it? Instead of forcing something that 8 people on council want, try listening to the people who voted you in... I can't wait for the next election.

What does that have to do with anything? She works in Richmond, mentors students at McMath Secondary, is involved with the community, and is advocating to help our Sr's, vulnerable youth. As long as someone wants to help our community be the best it can be what's the issue?
@RmdKenny
Exactly, they went out on their own to make a political statement. And it backfired. Council really needs to give their head a shake and understand that this will not go un noticed come next election.
@Gillanders_L
Richmond and surrounding cities are exactly the same. Just like I said when I spoke to council. Please explain how an SCS would prevent this. SCS only caters to a certain type of addiction and doesn't addres 3/4 of the other addictions out there. Detox and Recovery does that.
Seems very strange that MLA
@KellyRichmondBC
has kept quite on the Safe Consumption Site debacle. That's not the leadership this community needs. The

has already said they would get rid of the SCS disaster and help people actually get on the path to recovery,
@fscarfe
@JohnRustad4BC
That's why a detox and recovery based approach will benefit anyone who is suffering from addiction, SCS will only help people with drugs that can be tested and discriminate against every other addiction. Let's help everyone instead of leaving people out.
This guy wasn't even elected, and he's acting like he knows what he is doing. It's time to get rid of

David Eby doesn't live in a baloney factory; he's just full of baloney.
BC's cruel and negligent COVID jab mandate, which is restricting capable healthcare workers from saving lives, has nothing to do with measles.
Don’t administer the tax hike Eby.

So why was it not included in the motion? Why would council leave the most important part of recover out? Like you were all told in the meeting. Voters will remember this and you will all be held accountable when this idea fails. If you all think there is one of these going

That group with that sign showed up late and was not a part of the original organizers. So nice try to discredit a peaceful gathering that stood up for democracy.
@Gillanders_L
@TheRichmondNews
This is just a band aid soulution. Council needs to understand that this will not work without the part of RECOVERY. There needs to be a detox program and recovery program in place. Not just a site that facilitates drug use. When I was in active addiction, I know for a fact
@kpelech
Isn't this petition by the same person who was yelling racist obscenities at the meeting last night? I'm surprised you would support someone with so much hate in them.

broken the law when she made a video, and there was no report... last time I checked a moving vehicle requires you to wear a seat belt.
It is insane the City of Richmond is considering a safe injection site and not a detox. Getting people clean requires city's and the province to invest in Recovery and not use the easiest option as an election platform keynote. You can tell

City of Richmond passed a motion to write to the province to use the mental health act to force people into rehab. That is an unacceptable approach.

Imagine if they spent the money they use for these "conferences" on opening more beds instead of having another lavish party that cost tens of thousands of dollars. Oh, and any word on their friend who is a sexual predator they hired and then tried to cover up?
