Alberta Government to Close Calgary's Only Supervised Consumption Site in 2026.

The Alberta government has confirmed that it will close Calgary's sole supervised consumption site in 2026 and transition to treatment services on demand. The site, which opened in 2017, has been a source of controversy, with both supporters and critics weighing in on its effectiveness in reducing overdose risks and mitigating social disorder. The government's decision aligns with Premier Danielle Smith's promise to move away from supervised consumption sites and prioritize treatment and recovery services.
