Toronto ’s Moss Park safe consumption site gets temporary reprieve after lease extension.

Five similar centres in Toronto are set to close at the end of March after the provincial government enacted a new law banning sites deemed too close to schools and daycares.

The provincial government is undergoing a fundamental shift in its approach to the opioid crisis, which claimed more than 2,600 lives across the province in 2023 .

The site is bracing for a surge in April due to spillover from the closures of five other sites in Toronto .

“There’s still a big sense of precarity,” says Sarah Greig , director of substance use and mental health at Moss Park Consumption and Treatment Service .

Greig is working with clients to help set goals for their drug use, treatment plans and life ambitions.
