International Overdose Awareness Day: Aug. 31

Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024 marks International Overdose Awareness Day. It is a day to remember and honour the lives lost due to accidental overdose.

Recently, the Ontario government announced it was withdrawing support for supervised consumption sites. These sites provide a lifeline for people who use substances.

RNAO will continue its advocacy for those who need support.
