CréAction Collective is offering a collective art workshop during Thunder Bay’s Overdose Awareness Day.Join us to create a butterfly from upcycled materials in memory of someone lost to drug poisoning.

La Journée de sensibilisation aux surdoses est un moment pour se souvenir, honorer les vies perdues et passer à l’action.
Chaque papillon représentera l’espoir, la mémoire et la transformation, et fera partie d’une installation artistique collective publique.

Together, we can create something beautiful that honours lives, inspires hope, and reminds us that healing happens in community. 💜

Everyone is welcome, no art experience required.
Tout le monde est le bienvenu, aucune expérience artistique n'est nécessaire.

Wonderful moments of community connection! ✨

We’re finally taking the time to look back on our wonderful encounters at Pride and the Festival Bonjour , where we had the chance to present our collective artwork and our video. Thank you to everyone who came to chat, learn about our project, and celebrate the unifying power of art! 💛

We were also happy to share the French version of “Parents Like Us” from Thunder Bay District Health Unit and Thunder Bay Drug Awareness Committee, to help make important resources more accessible to our Francophone community.

CréAction Collective is taking a short summer break to work behind the scenes on planning and administration… but we’ll be back at the end of August with new community art workshops! 🎨✨

See you soon to create, share, and connect together!

✨ De beaux moments de connexion communautaire! ✨

Nous prenons enfin le temps de revenir sur nos belles rencontres lors de Pride et du Festival Bonjour, où nous avons eu la chance de présenter notre œuvre collective et notre vidéo. Merci à toutes les personnes qui sont venues échanger, découvrir notre projet et célébrer le pouvoir rassembleur de l’art! 💛

Nous étions également heureux de partager la version française de « Parents Like Us » de Thunder Bay District Health Unit, afin de contribuer à rendre des ressources importantes plus accessibles à notre communauté francophone.

CréAction Collective prend une petite pause estivale pour travailler en coulisses sur la planification et l’administration… mais nous serons de retour dès la fin août avec de nouveaux ateliers d’art communautaire! 🎨✨

À bientôt pour créer, partager et se connecter ensemble!
