In a letter to the editor in @globeandmail, RNAO CEO Dr. @DorisGrinspun applauds Manitoba’s decision to open the country’s first Indigenous-led supervised consumption services site (SCS) calling it evidence-based and courageous.

"Ontario has closed all publicly funded SCS sites, it is heartening to hear Manitoba is listening to what experts have said time and again: #HarmReduction saves lives."
