The Works Needle Exchange Program

I have always found the staff accommodating and helpful. The peer workers are welcoming and always remember me, although I do make regular visits to pick up supplies. The facility is immaculately clean whenever I go, and they have done a commendable job of observing COVID protocols while remaining a pleasant and comfortable environment. I would reccrecom this location to both users and those in their lives seeking to be a meaningful support. A great place to get a naloxone kit.

I pass by this building multiple times a week. The street level is unsanitary and clients loiter near the entrance constantly. This year, there have been tents pitched outside this space with syringes strewn on the sidewalk for days. Public health needs to be finding a balance of safety for its clients and the surrounding community.

Thankfully, the building has been sold to TMU and the sooner TMU gets rid of this place, the better. And please move it far, FAR away.

A “safe injection site” right next to a school … ?

Glad we are helping stop the spread of disease.

i went in to get needles for my testosterone and they were so helpful. they didn't judge at all and i didn't need to prove myself which was such a relief. they were very fast and got me what i needed with no hassle!!!

They’re great!! A month or 2 ago they let me take like 3 boxes of syringes cause I told them I didn’t wanna have to come back in this weather and they agreed and gladly gave me as much as I needed! No judgement either. Thanks guy!

Well-placed, safe (for everyone - users, staff and community) and professional. Medical volunteers needed, maybe.

The community around this site is amazing. Toronto public health workers are beautiful, helpful and fully trained. Supplies and services are plentiful. Still a huge issue to solve the ongoing problems but this site is a huge step towards what is right in the community. Needs pronounced security to protect the workers, and mediate local police. Needs more solid guidelines and easy access to other services to prevent mental illness, homeless attachment and dealing - list × shoot × chill. Honestly this place made me feel closer to humans and Toronto, only inspiring change and to pass on the positive mindset. Needs volunteers and a second public layout restroom for easy monitoring. Also signs and more candy. Would love to give back to the site. Think we should have a community circle at Ryerson rink or the yd square after hours with music to clean the area, discuss the site and inform the community in ways that keep this place safe for everyone. Again love those beautiful educated workers !!

There should be a precinct on this corner not a safe injection site.
