The Queen City Needle Exchange
The Queen City Needle Exchange provides sterile needles and a safe disposal location for used needles. Education on safer practices and keeping used needles out of the community is an important function of our needle exchange program.
Our staff can offer harm reduction counselling regarding sexual health and safer drug use practices and addictions counselling including referrals to treatment.
