Grey Bruce Health Unit is warning that a potential lethal mix of heroin is available on the streets of Grey and Bruce Counties.
The warning comes after the death of a man in Owen Sound and two additional overdoses in the last 24 hours related to use of this heroin.
"We're asking family and friends who know individuals who use drugs to be proactive and reach out to these people to make them aware of the danger of this particular heroin. We're very concerned. We don't want to see anyone else harmed," says Bruce Grey Acting Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Christine Kennedy. "Additional strategies to reduce risk include taking smaller doses and not being alone when taking drugs."
The Take Away Naloxone kits or TAN can be used to reverse an opiate overdose. The TAN program, available though Public Health, allows people at risk for opiate overdose to have access to life saving education and dispensing of emergency overdose Naloxone kits.

In the meantime, people are welcome to attend indoor public skating at many different venues according to the following schedule....

Bruce-Grey-Owen MP Larry Miller has responded to the Liberal campaign promise to end Canada's first-past-the-post electoral system. Quoting from a petition he is supporting, Miller notes that "the Liberal platform did not propose an alternative method of electing Members of Parliament, but only that the current system should change." The petition calls for a full national referendum on any such change.
Prime Minister Trudeau has asked Maryam Monsef, Minister of Democratic Institutions, in her mandate letter, to "bring forward a proposal to establish a special parliamentary committee to consult on electoral reform, including preferential ballots, proportional representation, mandatory voting and online voting."
The full text of Mr. Miller's media release is below....
