B Block Socials 9
Today we discussed the events that led up to the English Civil War. Students were given a Powerpoint handout which guided them through some of the key points of the war. Who the different sides were. We also discussed a key figure in the war....Oliver Cromwell.
For the rest of class we watched the movie Oliver Cromwell....we got through some of the movie, the rest we will watch at a later date.

Today we discussed the concept of Safe Injection Sites....in particular Insite.
Since opening its doors in 2003, Insite has been a safe, health-focused place where people inject drugs and connect to health care services – from primary care to treat disease and infection, to addiction counselling and treatment, to housing and community supports.
Insite is North America’s first legal supervised injection site. The BC Ministry of Health Services provides operational funding for Insite through Vancouver Coastal Health, which operates the facility in conjunction with PHS Community Services Society.
Insite operates on a harm-reduction model, which means it strives to decrease the adverse health, social and economic consequences of drug use without requiring abstinence from drug use.
The students spent the first 30 minutes of class researching what Insite is and the benefits and drawbacks of it.
Next we watched a 10 minute video on Insite....which was produced by the Coastal Health Authority. Once we did this, I finally opened the floor up the classes opinions on the subject. Fascinating discussion. I was very impressed with the tone of the discussion as well the understanding behind the comments.
Your assignment is to write a page response to whether you support Insite. Give reasons for your decision.
