A landmark decision was made in Canada today in regards to the existence of Insite, the controversial safe injection clinic, where people inject drugs and connect to health care services. The clinic located in Vancouver, British Columbia will keep it's doors open and continue to serve the 12,000 registered users currently using it's services.
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled today that "Insite has been proven to save lives with no discernible negative impact on the public safety and health objectives of Canada” and the clinic will be allowed to legally remain in operation.
