I want to congratulate both Mike Howell and the Courier for the excellent article on the Insite/Onsite program. As an individual who has lived and worked in and around the field of addictions for much of my life I have been a strong supporter of the Insite facility and am so very glad that it is expanding by developing the Onsite project. It is clearly a much-needed facility and will, over time, have a very positive impact on the incidence of drug abuse in our wonderful city. Heather Hay is to be congratulated for her untiring support and vision for the total project. I only hope local politicians have enough wisdom to see that this is a project that they should be strongly supporting. BERT MASSIAH Vancouver - --- MAP posted-by: Steve Heath
