British Columbia: An overdose prevention site in downtown Vancouver has reopened after being relocated.
Vancouver Coastal Health says in a news release that the Thomus Donaghy O-P-S initially opened in March 2021 but the lease on its Seymour Street location expired last month.
It says the new site officially opened yesterday, and can be accessed from Howe Street — though it does not have street
frontage.
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim issued a separate statement saying the city was not consulted and that it is disappointed the new site is not located at St. Paul’s Hospital, which it believed was the appropriate site.
