Ally Centre Gets Prevention Site Funding

The Ally Centre in Sydney is one of two groups getting provincial funding to run overdose prevention sites.

The provincial Health Authority says a total of $500,000 will support the operation of the site at the Ally Centre and another site in Halifax.

The province says the funding is part of an effort to prevent opioid overdose deaths.

50 people in the province died from opioid overdoses last year.
