The new supervised injection site, named SafePoint, provides people with an area for consumption of drug and helps them for further treatment. New Canada's national figures released by public health officials showed an estimated 2,458 people died in Canada from opioid-related overdoses in 2016. (Xinhua/Liang Sen)
