Health Canada just hit pause on Saskatoon's only supervised drug-consumption site, run by Prairie
harm reduction. They suspended the group's exemption to operate last week, shutting down the
facility for now. This move came right after the organization reported a serious financial
shortfall and let go of their executive director. Prairie harm reduction says the shutdown feels
unfortunate but wasn't totally out of left field. Health Canada keeps a tight watch on these spots
and the good news is the connected drop-in center stays open separated by a wall so services
keep flowing there. The team is hustling to hand over all the requested documents to get that
suspension lifted as soon as possible. With resources stretched thin in Saskatoon,
eyes are on how quick they bounce back to keep supporting those in need. Stay informed with
