Join us for a powerful day of remembrance, connection, and community action as we gather at Jubilee Park to mark International Overdose Awareness Day. Hosted by ROAR (Reducing Overdose Abbotsford Response), this free public event is dedicated to honouring the lives lost to the toxic drug crisis and supporting those who continue to be impacted.
The day will feature:
💜 Cultural support and Indigenous crafts
💜 A moving performance by the Precarious Players, highlighting stories from the community play "Precarious"
💜 Live Acoustic Music set
💜 Community Art Showcase,
💜 Free Lunch & Local Food Trucks
💜 Resource booths, healing spaces, and opportunities to connect, reflect, and take action.
Whether you’ve been personally affected or want to show your support, everyone is welcome. Let’s come together as one big family, driven by hope, to honour lives, challenge stigma, and build a more compassionate community.
