Overview
- Premier Wab Kinew said the province will bring forward a different location after residents objected to the 200 Disraeli Freeway site’s proximity to schools, a daycare and homes.
- The government will screen candidate properties by drawing a 250‑metre radius to check for nearby schools or child‑care centres before selecting a new address.
- Non-consumption health and social services are still planned for 200 Disraeli Freeway even as the supervised consumption function moves elsewhere.
- The opening, initially targeted for this year, is now delayed for additional public consultation, with the government aiming to launch before the October 2027 provincial election.
- Health Canada still lists the original application as open, and the Opposition PCs are pressing the premier to specify where the site will ultimately operate.
