On a weird side tangent note...
Really wish our ARH board could have gone to the NACURH conference this past weekend at Western IL. Pictures keep popping up in my newsfeed :( But it looks like everyone had an awesome time and that it went really well too. It sucks that I’ll only get to see these awesome people only a few times a year and that we missed an opportunity just because we aren’t affiliated with that division (or whatever it is). Guess I’ll just have to wait a bit longer to see everyone! Night.
International Harm Reduction Association » IHRA joins International Coalition Intervening to save Vancouver Safe-Injection Site:
“An international coalition of harm reduction experts — comprised of the International Harm Reduction Association (IHRA), the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, and CACTUS Montréal — has today been granted intervener status to appear before the Supreme Court of Canada to support Insite, Vancouver’s supervised injection site, against the Canadian government’s attempts to shutter it. […]
Adding insult to injury, a 2009 provincially funded report acknowledging the benefits of safe-injection sites and calling for their implementation was recently revealed to have been suppressed for a full year by Quebec’s Minister of Health. Despite this climate of resistance, CACTUS has announced its intention to open a supervised injection site in Montréal later this year.”
