Overdose Awareness Day

Our Region is facing an increasing number of deaths due to drug overdose. Fortunately we have organizations like Sanguen and are soon to have a permanent site for consumption and treatment services in Kitchener. Each August, Sanguen hosts an Overdose Awareness Day to commemorate those who have died from drug overdose and to also raise awareness about the issue. Cambridge held its event on Aug. 19th and there will be one in Kitchener (Victoria Park, near the washrooms at David Street) on Aug. 26th from 4-6pm. There will be speakers and activities, and naloxone kits will be available. Read more about the event here and here. #365ofgoodWR
