The first sanctioned supervised injection site on North America marked its 20th anniversary in Vancouver on Thursday, having opened in 2003 under a special exemption to Health Canada’s drug laws.

Insite in the Downtown Eastside is operated by Vancouver Coastal Health and the PHS Community Services Society, It provides guidance, safe tools and supervision for drug use, and when possible, connects drug users to housing and other services.

Global's Aaron McArthur looks back on the impact the facility has made.
