Episode Details

Manitoba just launched its first supervised consumption site in Winnipeg — a bold, life-saving step to prevent overdoses and connect users with recovery. Staffed by nurses, clinicians, and culturally grounded mentors, the temporary site offers safe use, dignity, and pathways to healing. Though delayed from its 2025 target, this partnership between Aboriginal Health and Wellness and the province prioritizes holistic, community-driven care — even if critics question timing and funding priorities. Addictions Minister Bernadette Smith, speaking from personal loss, calls it essential: you can’t help people who aren’t alive — and this is hope in action.
