The Yes2SCS Campaign have launched a petition calling on the government to establish Supervised Injection Services across the province.
“We the undersigned are parents, caregivers, and guardians of people who use drugs. Some of us have lost our children unnecessarily to preventable overdose death and some of us fear the loss of our children daily because of the inaction of health authorities and provincial and federal health ministers to properly respond to this public health emergency. We do not want our children or anyone’s child to be one of 800 estimated fatalities projected to occur on 2016 from preventable overdose. We demand to see Supervised Injection Services widely established across the province of BC because no one can access treatment if they are dead.”
