In this episode of the MAPS Canada podcast, host Jarred sits down with Jaime Arrendondo, Canada Research Chair on Substance Use at the University of Victoria, to discuss what harm reduction looks like in other countries, how Jaime got academically involved on substance use issues, and how he is building drug checking capacity across North America.

Join Jaime and Jarred as they ponder how to be a community in the face of adversity, and what it means to adapt harm reduction measures to fit local environments.
