Vancouver’s Insite safe injection clinic adds hours to help cut deadly overdoses
Vancouver’s supervised injection site is expanding its hours to deal with the crisis of overdose deaths.
Vancouver Coastal Health, which operates Insite, says a pilot project begins next Wednesday and will continue for up to six months.
Insite will operate around the clock on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the weeks that social assistance cheques are issued.
The facility is normally closed daily between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m.
