Health board approves interim supervised injection site in Lowertown

The Ottawa Board of Health on Monday night unanimously endorsed a plan by the city’s top doctor to set up a temporary supervised injection site in Lowertown at a time when more people are overdosing and ending up in hospital emergency rooms.
Isra Levy, the medical officer of health, has already started the legwork to get the site ready at 179 Clarence St., which is an Ottawa Public Health facility, in partnership with the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre. Health Canada received
