💜 Overdose Awareness Day 💜
Yesterday, we paused to remember the lives we have lost to overdose and to honour the people who continue to carry that loss.
Our communities has come together to remember those we have lost, and we want to continue that message of remembrance beyond a single day. Let us not forget the people who were part of our community, the lives they lived, and the impact they had on those around them.
Let us choose compassion over judgment, understanding over stigma, and kindness over assumptions. Behind every loss is a person, a family, a story, and a community left behind.
As we remember those who are no longer with us, let us also continue to support those who are still here, with dignity, compassion, connection, and hope.
We remember. We honour. We will not forget. 💜
