Overview
ENSEMBLE Greater Moncton is a registered charity that works to alleviate complex social challenges, following a nonjudgemental, compassion-forward approach.

For many years ENSEMBLE has organized the distribution of harm reduction supplies for Moncton and the rest of the province. With the support of the community, and exemption status from Health Canada, ENSEMBLE established the first Safe Consumption (Overdose Prevention) Site in New Brunswick.
