I feel there are so many things the city of lethbridge could be doing rather than letting all these needles leaving the site. What we have going on in our city is just a bandage.

I support the site itself but I do agree that the needles should not be taken off site.

This shouldn’t be allowed. We don’t give diabete patients free needles do we? Why give crack addicts them? That makes no sense

Keep your Arches and help people who come to you. Stop offsite needle distribution to drug users on the streets - doesn't help anyone. The effort should be in curbing drug use. This initiative has allowed drug sellers and users to come out of hiding and brazenly operate on our sidewalks, in public buildings, local stores and not just downtown. What about my rights and quality of life. I shouldn't have to deal with this.

I understand that some people need help, however - a safe injection site should be safe for all. Stop allowing the free needles to leave the safe injection site.

Needles for drug users are free yet diabetics need to pay $200-$500 for insulin? What a place we live in! This is ridiculous. Stop giving drug users a way to continue using drugs! Should have created a rehabilitation center instead.

100% agree. I workout every morning at fit4less and usually about twice a week someone comes and passes out in our entranceway after leaving to SIS.

Why is the government paying for addicts to have FREE needles when diabetics have to pay????????????? I am so opposed to this site & the idea that someone who chooses to be addicted has more rights than someone who wishes they weren't diabetic.

We need to be like Medicine Hat. They dont have this problem with needles. Help them get off the drugs and give them the tools to stay off them. Are kids shouldn't worry about needles where they play. Stay safe.

I think there are many better options to helping those with addiction.

It is very sad to teach children about such a thing. Let's be more proactive!

There needs to be a lot more done to eliminate this problem
