UNDU is now offering harm reduction services at Moccasin Flats 7 days a week
Uniting Northern Drug Users Undoing Stigma now has an Atco office trailer set up to provide services to those living at Moccasin Flats.
She said they were able to purchase the trailer through funds from the First Nations Health Authority and are working on getting it up to code so it can function with electrical, heat, and possibly sewer services. “We're hoping that down the road, we can have the fire department come down here and do education on fire safety, and how we can help encourage it,” added Cadieux.
“It’s about providing information about how to use a bit safer, providing education around safety when using substances,” added Cadieux. “It’s a work in progress,” added Cadieux. “But this is our steppingstone to providing more supports, other than the outreach.” “I'm hoping by providing services that they need down here, that they might feel a bit more able to come down [to Moccasin Flats],” said Cadieux.
