Drug Alert: Winnipeg - Mon. January 5, 2025

A white, round pill sold as Percocet was found to contain metonitazine, a high-potency synthetic opioid considered to be 4 times stronger than fentanyl.

Using high-potency opioids increases the risk of overdose. Naloxone can reverse the effects of nitazine, but it may take more doses to revive someone.

The pill had a marking of “TEC” on one side and a scored line on the other.

Sage House Reopens at a New Location!

We are excited to announce the opening of the brand-new Sage House, now located at 896 Main Street, Winnipeg.

Sage House is a safe, welcoming space where community members can access support, connection, and care without fear of judgment. The program follows a harm reduction, pro-choice, and strength-based approach, recognizing everyone as the expert in their own life.

Sage House supports people who are in s*x work, use substances and or are street involved.

Stevie Goller, Sage House Program Manager, shares:

“Community engagement has been very positive since reopening. Community members are excited to explore the new space and continue to provide feedback on programming, meals, and daily operations. Staff are actively sitting down with community members to ask what they want to see, what they want to do, and how they want to receive support. This feedback continues to guide programming and service delivery, down to the small details.”

During this transition period, Sage House is operating under tentative hours, effective immediately:

Hours of Operation

Monday–Friday
12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. | Open programming
4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. | Closed (staff break)
5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. | Door service
