This spring, San Francisco will open our RESET Center as another tool to address open drug use. When law enforcement arrest people for using drugs on our streets, those individuals will be taken to the RESET Center to sober up and get connected to treatment. Staying on the street...

On October 17th, Vancouverites will be asked: 1. Should Vancouver strengthen its laws to forbid open-air hard drug use in public spaces? What would actually change with a YES vote on Question One? It would give police another tool to address open-air hard drug use in Vancouver’s shared public spaces. As Mayor Ken Sim explains, the City already sets reasonable expectations around public behaviour. Under Health By-law 9535, we regulate where people can smoke and other activities that impact everyone’s ability to safely enjoy our public spaces. A YES vote would give Vancouver a clear mandate to apply that same basic principle to open-air hard drug use. If someone is openly using fentanyl, meth, heroin or crack in a park, on a sidewalk on the Granville strip or in another shared public space, officers would have stronger tools to intervene, including directing people to stop or move along. And, unlike now, where appropriate, officers could seize the illegal drugs. That matters. It gives officers another practical enforcement option to address the behaviour without making criminal prosecution the only tool available. This isn’t about criminalizing addiction. It’s about re-establishing social expectations that open-air hard drug use is not acceptable in our shared public spaces, while getting people suffering from severe addiction and mental illness better access to treatment and recovery. This is tangible change. On October 17th, you will have your voice heard. Vote YES for tangible change in public safety and healthcare. #ABCVancouver #PublicSafety #Vancouver

This October 17th, you will have your voice heard. Vancouverites will have the chance to bring lasting change to how we address open-air hard drug use in our public spaces and increase treatment capacity for those dealing with severe mental health and addiction challenges. As Dr. Julian Somers explains, better care is possible. We have healthcare professionals ready and willing to provide better, recovery-oriented care. What we need is government prepared to act. The public safety plebiscite will give Vancouverites the opportunity to deliver a clear mandate for tangible change. Tangible change in our public spaces by giving the City another tool to address open-air hard drug use. And tangible change in healthcare by giving the Province a clear path forward to create the secure medical care and treatment capacity needed to get people the help they need, break the revolving door of crisis, and ease pressure on our emergency rooms. The Province has the authority. The healthcare system has people ready to provide better care. What we need now is action and this plebiscite will allow us to hold Premier Eby accountable for his lack of action. Enough is enough. It’s time to re-establish social expectations around hard drug use in our shared public spaces — and get people suffering from severe mental health and addiction disorders the care they need. On October 17th, your voice will be heard. Read the full Building a Safer Vancouver policy paper: #ABCVancouver #PublicSafety #Vancouver
