SAFE INJECTION SITE IN MARKHAM
SUPERVISED CONSUMPTION SITES (10.0)
Correspondence Communications
Mayor Frank Scarpitti addressed the correspondence
received by Council members from M.P. Saroya, Markham-Unionville, dated
September 20, 2016. The Mayor referred to misinformation in a recent newspaper
article and the concerns expressed by the residents, suggesting that
clarification is required on the jurisdiction and approval process. This is a
federal government responsibility and must be addressed at that level, not at
the municipal level. It was confirmed that there are no safe injection sites existing
or proposed in Markham or York Region, and that there is a comprehensive consultation
process involved for any such proposal.
Dr. Richard Gould, York Region Associate Medical
Officer of Health was in attendance to provide information on safe injection
sites, otherwise known as supervised consumption sites or harm reduction sites.
Dr. Gould confirmed that there are no plans for a site in York Region at this
time, and that the federal government has regulated the process for any
applications that may come forward, including a wide, intense, and on-going
consultation process with the province, the local municipality, police and
other agencies, and the public. Mr. Gould stated that it would be impossible
for any site to be established without Markham Council being aware of it.
The Committee requested that M.P. Saroya be invited to
a Markham Council meeting to discuss this further and to share any information
that he may have. The Committee also discussed the inclusion of provisions in
the new comprehensive zoning by-law dealing with this issue.
The Committee appreciated the attendance of Mr. Gould
and the opportunity to clarify the situation in Markham, for the residents. The
Mayor announced that a Press Conference would be held in the near future to
provide clear information to the public. Mr. Gould and all members of Council
were invited to attend. Councillor Amanda Collucci introduced a motion.
Moved by: Councillor Amanda Collucci
Seconded by: Deputy Mayor Jack Heath
Whereas the York Region Associate Medical Officer of Health has advised
that there are no safe injection sites proposed for Markham or York Region;
and,
Whereas the York Region Associate Medical Officer of Health has
provided information on the process of establishing safe injection sites if a
proposal did come forward, including the requirement for a comprehensive
consultation process to ensure that Markham Council and residents would be well
informed;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved:
1) That the letter dated September 20, 2016 from Bob
Saroya, M.P., Markham Unionville, regarding a roundtable he hosted on the
issue of “safe” injection sites, be received; and,
2) That correspondence from Filipa Dias, Michael I. Gilmore,
Andi Wu, and Frank Feather, regarding safe injection sites, be received; and,
3) That the presentation by Dr. Richard Gould, York Region
Associate Medical Officer of Health, regarding safe injection sites, be
received; and further,
4) That M.P. Saroya be invited to attend a Markham Council
meeting to discuss his understanding of legislation regarding safe injection
sites and provide any information he has on any proposed sites in Markham
including identification of the proponent and the proposed location.
