What does matter is safety. What perimeter around the community centre would police be authorized to patrol, or not, in order to maintain safety for its residents? What would constitute a "no-go" zone for police around an SIS? Would police simply have to ignore offences committed by those having just safely injected in a"no-go zone"? Who would compensate the dozens of nearby residences for a likely devalued property at a moment of sale? Would an SIS be more feasible near the Byward Market/Sussex Avenue area, where there are fewer residents? Guy Carisse, Ottawa - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
