Program Title: Guerilla needle exchange: Why Victoria activists are offering needle exchange in 'no-go zone'
Description: Harm Reduction Victoria launched what it calls a “guerilla needle exchange� in downtown Victoria in the middle of a so-called “no-go zone�—an area that has been off-limits for needle distribution for a year.
Kim Toombs, a member of the harm reduction group, told the Victoria Times Colonist that the group plans to hand out clean needles every evening to drug users in the area.
We speak with Kim Toombs about harm reduction in Victoria, the ‘no-go zone’ and the guerilla needle exchange.
