Saskatoon 's only safe consumption site has been battered by the city's drug crisis.
Prairie Harm Reduction, located outside downtown, recently reopened after briefly closing to give staff a break.
A highly toxic batch of drugs, some with light pink or dark purple pills, infiltrated Saskatoon in January .
Firefighters have gone to 901 drug poisoning calls since January , with more than half of those occurring in March .
Mayor Cynthia Block said Saskatoon needs more housing, including units with supportive services.
She added two winter warming shelters recently closed, something that happens every year .
“It’s not a winter issue. It is 24 -7, 365 days a year until we can get our full housing spectrum back up and running,” Block said.
