INSITE'S FATE STILL UNCLEAR
September means deadline time for Insite, Vancouver's supervised
injection site.
The Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users says it'll seek a court
injunction to prevent the federal government from closing Insite.
Meanwhile, supporters say a recent poll shows more than 70 per cent of
Lower Mainlanders want to keep Insite open if scientific evidence
supports its benefits.
Yesterday, volunteer Aaron Greycloud sorted through some 4,000 letters
to be sent to PM Stephen Harper, urging the Conservative government to
keep Insite open. A decision is expected by Sept. 12.
