International Overdose Awareness Day - Remembrance and Memorial Event
This is our 9th year hosting this event.
The toxic drug supply and overdose crisis doesn’t just shatter our families, it fractures our communities.
Please join us at Victoria Park on Monday, August 31 at 6:30 p.m. for an evening of remembrance, reflection, and community.
The evening will begin with an Indigenous prayer and will feature a memorial displaying photos of our loved ones. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in an Indigenous-led Round Dance, create commemorative bracelets, share wishing well messages, enjoy a musical guest, and purchase food from local food trucks. Harm reduction training and kits will also be available.
As the sun sets, we will gather together for a candlelight vigil. In honour of the occasion, the High Level Bridge will be illuminated in purple.
