Saskatoon harm reduction site closes. What now?

Description

<p>After running hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt, Prairie Harm Reduction is closing its doors for good. Its board says it found no signs of fraud. The cost of helping hundreds of people and families in Saskatoon simply grew too high and too quickly.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>This marks the end for Saskatchewan’s first supervised drug consumption site, along with housing services for teens and families, education services, and a drop-in centre. We look at what led to the longtime Saskatoon charity’s closure, and what losing it means for the city and the people who relied on Prairie Harm Reduction to stay alive.</p>
