Dr. Evan Wood is perhaps best known for his scientific research at Insite, the supervised injection site in Vancouver. He is a professor of medicine at UBC as well as the founder of the International Centre for Science in Drug Policy. He is also a UVic alumni and the 2010 recipient of the British Medical Journal’s Doctor of the Year Award.
This Tuesday evening, he will be speaking at a forum at Alix Goolden Hall in Victoria. He will discuss his work at Insite as well as the importance of evidence-based student drug education. Also speaking will be Neill Franklin (a retired Baltimore police officer and the executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) and Denise Savoie (Member of Parliament for Victoria). The goal of this forum is to kickstart a conversation about community, crime & education:
