🧪 A QUICK REMINDER ABOUT DRUG TEST STRIPS

Drug test strips are a simple tool that can help you learn more about what may be in your supply.

Fentanyl, benzodiazepine and other test strips can help detect the presence of certain substances, but no test strip can tell you that a drug is “safe.” False negatives and limitations can happen.

That’s why drug checking is just one part of a bigger harm reduction approach.

Test when you can. Go slow. Carry naloxone. Don’t use alone. 💜

The more we know, the more we can help make more informed choices and potentially reduce the risk of an overdose.

Harm reduction saves lives.

As always, International Overdose Awareness Day was a beautiful reminder of the strength, compassion, and resilience within our community.

Thank you to all of the incredible community partners who came together to make the day possible, and a very special thank you to Reaching for the Stars Optimist Club for giving our city a moment and a space to come together as a community, remember our loved ones, honour those we’ve lost, and stand together for those who are still here.

These moments matter. Our loved ones matter. Their stories matter.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared, listened, remembered, and helped make yesterday so meaningful. 💜

We remember. We honour. We continue.

August is ending, but overdose prevention does not!

But keep in mind, overdose prevention is not a one day conversation.

It's not leaving the house without naloxone.
It's supporting access to safer supplies in our communities.
It's meeting people where they're at, without judgment.
It's educating ourselves and others to help end misinformation that fuels stigma.
It's keeping our loved ones alive!

International Overdose AWARENESS DAY may be August 31st. But overdose prevention initiatives are needed. Every. Single. Day.

🗳️ Windsor-Essex municipal election 2026: the race is officially on.

Nominations are closed, and more than 180 people across Windsor-Essex are now officially running for municipal office.

In Windsor alone, there are 11 candidates running for mayor, along with candidates competing for all 10 city council wards.

📅 Election Day: October 26, 2026

For those of us who care about harm reduction, overdose prevention, homelessness, mental health, housing, healthcare access and the safety of our communities, this election matters.

Municipal government has a real impact on the services, policies and priorities that shape our communities.

So I'm going to be doing my research, and I encourage you to do the same.

I want to know where candidates stand on evidence-based approaches to substance use, overdose prevention, harm reduction, homelessness, supportive housing and community health.

And I think candidates should have the opportunity to tell us directly what they believe.

This isn't about telling anyone who to vote for.

It's about asking questions, looking at the evidence, listening to candidates' answers — and making informed decisions.

Your vote is your voice. Use it. 🗳️💜

Supervised consumption sites help keep communities safer... and stronger.

They don’t exist to encourage drug use. They exist because people are going to use drugs whether we like it or not, and we have an opportunity to prevent deaths, respond to overdoses, connect people with health and social services, and reduce the harms that can affect entire communities.

When we talk about supervised consumption, we’re talking about overdose prevention, public health, connection, dignity, and community safety.

And as we head toward the municipal election on October 26th, this matters to me.

Whoever I vote for will need to understand why evidence-based harm reduction matters, including the role supervised consumption services can play in building safer, healthier and 'stronger' communities.

I want elected officials who understand that keeping people alive and supporting people in crisis is community safety, too.

🚨 Don’t wait for an emergency to learn how to respond.

You don’t want the first time you learn CPR, how to use naloxone, or how to respond to a drug poisoning to be when someone is already in front of you and needs help.

There are free resources, trainings, and educational programs available to anyone who wants to learn.

Knowing what to do can help you stay calm, recognize an emergency, call for help, provide CPR when needed, administer naloxone, and support someone until emergency services arrive.

You don’t need to wait until you need these skills.

Learn them before the emergency happens. ❤️

Because preparedness isn't about expecting the worst, it's about being ready to help when someone needs you.

DM me if you'd like some direction to some available resources (:

Windsor, it's time to really think about what comes next.

Drew Dilkens is asking Windsorites for a fourth term as mayor...

Twelve years is a long time. Twelve years of decisions, priorities, promises, successes, and failures.

So before we simply vote out of habit, let's ask ourselves some hard questions:
🔻Are we satisfied with the direction Windsor is going?
🔻Are our biggest problems actually getting better?
🔻Who is being heard, and who is being left behind?
🔻Do we want another four years of the same leadership and the same approach?

“Windsor Strong. Together.” sounds great.
But strong for whom? Together with whom? And moving Windsor toward what?

Change doesn't happen by re-electing the same leadership and expecting different results...

Look at the record. Ask questions. Think critically. And vote for the future you actually want.

Windsor needs change.

DO NOT RE-ELECT.

🗳️ October 26, 2026

🌻 Overdose prevention IS community protection
💜 Healthy communities don’t leave people behind
🌹🏵 Criminalization ISN'T harm reduction
🪨 Harm reduction protects our neighbors
🫂 Harm reduction ISN'T enabling. It's preventing deaths!
