Canada is amid an opioid epidemic, with governments declaring overdose public health emergency. Drug-related overdose mortality in British Columbia reached a record high in 2017, with over 1400 deaths. In response, novel overdose prevention interventions (OPI) have been implemented, including: overdose prevention sites in which people can inject drugs under supervision; and, naloxone training and […]

The objective of this project is to develop an analytics tool for REALPAC to use to better classify buildings using the “20 x ‘15” dataset collected by REALPAC since 2009. Preliminary analysis has been conducted of this data in past years, but this has been limited to a simple retrospective analysis. The tool that will […]
