18 years of watching kindness, compassion, and community transform landscapes. 18 years of holding space with those who came before us and those who are here now. Thank you to all who have supported us and supported our community of people who use substances. ❤.

18,500 lives lost. Harm reduction comes in many forms. We are but one piece of the greater picture. Safe supply saves lives too.
@ZoeDodd The reach of our overdose crisis cannot be overstated. For every death, a network of broken friends and family members, traumatized harm reduction and front line workers. We have lost more than 18,500 Canadians to overdoses since Jan 2016.

This is the four year anniversary that marks our overdose crisis in BC. We have lost 4700 to fatal overdose since then. 3900 detected fentanyl. In 2019, 87% of these deaths occurred inside. Promote access to safe supply. It addresses a need and helps us address -both- crises.
