August is overdose awareness month. Every Saturday in August there will be a short peaceful vigil at 11 a.m. in front of Owen Sound city hall.
More than 30 people in Grey Bruce have died from drug overdoses in Grey Bruce since just the start of the covid pandemic. This is our truly lethal epidemic.
Treatment, safe drug supply and safe injection all need to be on the top of our public health and safe community discussions.
Please take covid precautions into consideration as you join others to remember, grieve and advocate.
They can’t be the voice for themselves but we can be for them.
