Have their been reports or stories of these drug users harming children or doing drugs in the school yard rather than the safe consumption sites? Honest question, I don’t know the answer.
In Kingston, I’ve heard to janitorial staff needing to clear needles and remove tresspassers off the grounds at the boys & girls club, and a school that are the closest to the SCSs. I don’t know how the volume of cleaning compares to schools farther away from the SCS. My data is also hearsy, but comes from someone who works with the community.
I’ll also say Kingston concentrates support services geographically, which leads to concentrations of people using these services geographically. This is something I didn’t see in other cities where services are more spread out around.
