Bylaw amendments in Campbell River prohibiting the consumption of illicit drugs have been repealed after pushback.
Bylaw amendments in Campbell River prohibiting the consumption of illicit drugs have been repealed after they received pushback.
The reconsideration of the bylaw amendments came after council received a letter from Dr. Charmaine Enns, a medical health officer from Island Health, where she noted the initial amendments were passed without council receiving a letter she had sent regarding the amendments. “Making a decision in haste without due consideration of the evidence, impacts, and other tools to address the issues of public substance use will not serve the community or its citizens well. It is important to recognize that enforcement activities can drive people to use drugs alone and can elevate risk of death,” the Jan. 25 letter from Enns says.
