EpiPens vs ampoules (Canada)

I've seen this topic posted on here a few times, but I'm specifically wondering about Canadian sites/health authorities. Do any Canadian sites provide EpiPens for the initial treatment of anaphylaxis in acute care?

For anyone who has considered this, can you share why you did or didn't choose to provide EpiPens (besides cost)?
