Insite is a supervised injection site located in Vancouver.  It is the only legal site of its kind in North America.  The facility first opened in 2003 as a pilot project based on a harm reduction model.

Grassroots activists in the Downtown Eastside neighbourhood were instrumental in the establishing the safe injection facility, and continued to actively defend the initiative in court. Initially operating under a temporary judicial exemption, the site’s legal status was confirmed in a groundbreaking ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2011.

Toronto doesn't look likely to get a supervised injection facility anytime soon, even though numerous studies have shown such facilities to save lives as well as healthcare dollars.

Nearly a decade's worth of research on Vancouver's supervised injection facility InSite has shown it to lower the spread of HIV and decrease the incidence of overdose fatalities in the city's Downtown Eastside. Furthermore, drug injection in public spaces has become less common in the area and locals are now less likely to tread on discarded syringes while walking the streets.
