International Overdose Awareness Day strikes a chord in B.C.
KAMLOOPS — Today marks International Overdose Awareness Day, a day to reflect upon the ongoing overdose crisis, and remember those who have been lost.
More than two years after British Columbia declared a public health emergency for overdose deaths, the province continues to see the death toll rise.
International Overdose Awareness Day serves as a reminder that illicit drug use and addiction has seeped into every segment of the population, and everyone affected is important to someone.
