Who will protect our Neighbourhood? Hamilton Urban Core has a $15 million budget to build a new injection site at the corner of Cannon and Ashley Street. This will replace the Rebecca street facility. It will provide: Hard core drug injection site, Material Distribution (free needles, crack pipes and kits) and drug testing.

We understand the need for this facility in the city BUT there has been NO community consultation. No one advised the local schools and there respected boards (Schools- Cathy Wever, Cathedral High, St. Patrick’s, 4 daycares and 3 parks) to name a few. No one advised the local Churches and Places of Worship. No one advised the retirement homes and social housing.

Federal and Public Health Guidelines have not been met. Neighbourhood consultations was NOT provided. Only a spotty invitation to a few houses was received only a few days ago and only in English.

This is a high-risk neighbourhood and the crime has been getting worse. We’ve seen break and enters, assaults and murders in the area. Will adding this site help our community?

This lack of transparency has many residences in this community concerned and with these underhanded tactics is causing this neighbourhood residence to reject this facility.

And most importantly sign this petition to ensure no renewal of permits will be granted without legitimate community consultation taking place.
