Please open your calendar and mark the following dates and times to attend Drug Poisoning Awareness Day (formerly Overdose Awareness Day) events this August. This year you have two opportunities to publicly honour and grieve the people whose lives have been lost to drug poisoning, as well as demand change to help prevent further deaths:
Mount Forest
- On Thursday, August 22 we will gather in Mount Forest, at King and Main Street, noon – 1pm
Guelph
- On Thursday, August 29, from 12-1pm we will gather at the Royal Bank Plaza in downtown Guelph to honour & remember those we have lost unnecessarily to the drug poisoning epidemic.
Each event will host speakers, a die-in & moment of silence, and pizza.
The Aug 29th event will also be live streamed on the Wellington Guelph Drug Strategy Facebook Page.
T-shirts that help support the Pathways to Remembering Memorial can be purchased before August 1st HERE
