International Overdose Awareness Day is an event for Nelson community members to honor and remember those people who have died due to drug poisoning and the toxic drug crisis in BC.
This special day is also a time to learn about our local substance use/addictions services and to advocate for additional services.
Our thanks to all the wonderful service providers, first responders, healthcare workers, and others who support people and advocate around substance use/addictions care. Let’s keep working to improve care, educate, reduce stigma, and bring more resources to Nelson.
