What is the City doing to address the use of drugs on the street?

The Health Contact Centre continues to provide a number of wrap-around services, such as harm reduction supplies, peer employment opportunities, education on safer drug use, and regular needle clean-ups of the surrounding area. 

Fraser Health Authority is currently providing a number of outreach services. City staff and the New Westminster Police Department are currently working in conjunction with Fraser Health Authority to ensure those who require such services receive the necessary referrals.
