Two sites approved for mobile supervised consumption services
The pieces are finally in place for mobile supervised consumption services (SCS) to set up shop in Red Deer.
On Monday, city council approved amendments to its License Bylaw which make it possible for a service provider – in this case Turning Point – to complete an application for a federal exemption.
Turning Point has already stated their intent to move forward with mobile SCS, despite repeatedly saying mobile services will not meet the full need of the community, and that a permanent site is highly preferable.
Councillor Dianne Wyntjes echoed those sentiments, stating that a mobile site is only a band-aid solution.
