Now, Saskatchewan Mental Health and Addictions Minister Lori Carr says not much data has been collected from Saskatchewan because only the facility in Estevan is operating with Alberta’s model. However, she says it is seeing a good success rate.

Carr says there are plans to expand the model to other facilities across the province, but as Katherine Ludwig explains in the video above, harm reduction workers feel they also should have a voice in the partnership.
