A supervised drug site in Winnipeg will bar those under 16, with officials dismissing youth access concerns as unfounded.
A supervised drug consumption site in Winnipeg, set to open soon, will not allow anyone under 16, according to Addictions Minister Bernadette Smith, who dismissed concerns about youth access as "fearmongering."
The site, relocating to a commercial area after community opposition, will use intake forms asking about drug use, pregnancy, and health services, with staff making age determinations if ID is absent.
The NDP says federal approval is no longer required, and the site may launch as a temporary or mobile unit.
Critics, including the Manitoba Tories, remain concerned about underage access and safety, but Smith cited a McGill study showing no increase in crime near similar sites in Toronto.
