Follow up reporting just a few days ago:

Despite an increased police presence surrounding Calgary’s only supervised drug consumption site, crime and disorder in the immediate area appear to still be on the rise this year, newly released statistics show.
I swear to sweet baby jeezus most people don't read these reports.

This report is about a 250 m zone around the SIS. The vast majority of calls were to do with the following:
"Unwanted guests, suspicious persons and checks on welfare were the most frequent types of calls."

Yeah, a lot of needle stabbings. As stated, violence is almost minimal.

Increases in break-ins were part of an overall trend upwards across the City Centre, and vehicular break-ins actually decreased.

So you are still wrong.

EDIT: HA if you go back through the historical data, crime has increased in recent quarters but is still lower for most types of crime across the City Centre than it was in 2016! It just looks like certain types of crime (such as drug use) have increased in - surprise, surprise - the 250 m zone around the SIS.
