The Alberta government wants Calgary city council to take the lead on closing down a drug consumption site in the city, while Calgary’s mayor says the city has been waiting for years for the province to come up with a solution.

In an Oct. 2 post on the X platform, Alberta Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Dan Williams publicized a letter on the matter that he wrote that day to Calgary’s council.
