About this service
We offer harm reduction supplies in our Nelson and Cranbrook offices, as well as a mobile service to many Kootenay communities.
Contrary to popular opinion, intravenous drug use is a major issue in our rural areas. Due to fear, ignorance and a lack of understanding in our communities, many people who use drugs are being pushed into the shadows of our beautiful region.
Shame and isolation put people at serious risk of overdosing, contracting illnesses such as Hepatisis C and HIV/AIDS, and hugely decrease the likelihood that people will seek out the medical help and necessary services they need. This, in turn, puts everyone at risk.
A variety of harm reduction supplies, free of charge, with no prescriptions needed. We carry needles of different sizes (suitable for IV, IM, or SubQ injections), pipes, foil kits, safer snorting kits, naloxone kits, disinfectant wipes, and sharps containers (amoung other things).
When is it open?
ANKORS Nelson - Harm Reduction Supply Distribution is open Monday Thursday: 9:30 am 12:00 pm & 1:00 pm 4:30 pm.
