Guy Felicella, a prominent harm reduction and recovery advocate, has announced that he will no longer recognize May 29 as Guy Felicella Day in Vancouver. This decision stems from his discontent with Mayor Ken Sim and the ABC council's actions regarding substance use policies. Felicella expressed his disappointment in a social media post, stating that the mayor's opposition to a proposed Overdose Prevention Site in downtown Vancouver undermines the efforts to aid individuals struggling with substance use disorders. He accused Sim of failing to understand the complexities of recovery and described the mayor’s actions as a betrayal to those affected by addiction. In response, Mayor Sim emphasized the need for careful planning and accountability when introducing overdose prevention sites, citing the negative consequences of poorly managed facilities. Felicella's return of the honor reflects his frustration with the current leadership’s approach to addressing the ongoing drug crisis in the city.
