Medicine Hat, AB – The provincial government’s panel to review supervised consumption sites will hear the thoughts of residents this fall.

Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Jason Laun announced Monday that the province had assembled the panel of eight to review the social and economic impacts the sites leave on communities.

The panel has taken some criticism for not reviewing the harm reduction impacts.

As part of the review process, the panel will be visiting communities for town hall events.
