This is an important day marked worldwide to raise awareness and remember and honour loved ones who have died due to drug poisoning. This event is for local community, service providers, emergency responders, municipal leaders, people with lived and living experience of substance use/lived expertise, healthcare providers, and social service organizations.
This will be a safe space and a memorial event to honour loved ones and to come together to support each other in community. This event is also to support those still struggling, and the families who are impacted by the toxic drug crisis.
