NESI – Needle Exchange & Safer Inhalation (Gear, Van & Outreach)

In order to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adapted this service. We have temporarily closed the NESI Drop-in space and shifted our focus to outreach and van services.  We have gear distribution outside of 55 Eccles Monday - Sunday from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, or you can contact the NESI van at 613-761-0003.

NESI offers harm reduction services for people who use drugs, including safer inhalation and injection supplies, collection and disposal of used equipment, and peer support in a non-judgmental environment.

Stop by the NESI drop-in room at the Eccles Branch or call the NESI van to have supplies delivered!

"This is how I work with my trauma: I let it all flow out, and then, I rise up from my grief, and begin another day anew, cleansed by those same tears." - Christian
