John: The doctor is not confused. Please see the link referenced above and here regarding a 2019 Island Health program for supervised daily opioid injections. The Province introduced this type of strategy, i.e. "Safe drug supply (e.g. hydromorphone in supervised settings)" as part of its overdose prevention services in 2017.
But yes, the oxycontin prescriptions were certainly a problem.

The total number of organizations to sign on to the BC Climate Emergency Campaign, demanding an overhaul to CleanBC, has risen to more than 235. [Regularly updated list here]. Recent signatories include The BC Young New Democrats, Canadian Senior Cohousing Society, Co-operative Housing Federation of BC, Worker Solidarity Network, Anglican Diocese of New Westminster, Douglas Students’ Union, and many small businesses.

Thanks for your comments Ruben. Ms Callo will answer some of your complaints shortly. Meanwhile readers can look at earlier comment by Ms Callo that goes into more detail about how the 8-metre track seems to have been sacrificed due to the needs of the Caledonia project for a firelane, as well as a report on the development.

I agree with SRB’s comment about the rules being open to interpretation, and as I noted in my story, inconsistently applied. After being told by my mother’s care home management that it was not permitted by Island Health that the Designated Visitor status could be shifted to another family member (me), my sister found a statement on the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority indicating that in “extenuating circumstances” it could be (which makes total sense). Our facility manager agreed to look into further with Island Health and (hurray!) I am about to become the Designated Visitor. So prod those inconsistencies and authorities. Like everyone else, the authorities are having to make it up—or at least refine the details—as they go along.
Make sure you fill out the survey of the Senior’s Advocate on visitation--it’s deadline of Sept 30 is nigh: www.carehomevisits.ca

John: Thanks for your insightful perspective. We welcome all informed commentary. Here's a recent report on the issue of decriminalization, which touches on the safe supply issue.
