Past Events: OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY 2024 - VANCOUVER, BC
Thank you to everyone who attended Overdose Awareness Day!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our tent for Overdose Awareness Day. It was a hard day for remembering all those we have lost, but we had so many people trained and walking away with Naloxone kits and Fentanyl test strips that can save lives.
We even had people visiting from across the world get trained, and they were eager to bring our pamphlets and merchandise back to their home countries to continue spreading awareness. To know that our organization will be making an impact globally is truly special.
And a big thank you to Vancouver Coastal Health for partnering with us to provide Naloxone training on this important day.
May our loved ones rest in peace, and let’s continue to educate ourselves and save lives in their honour.

To share a meal to support and share is a good thing! We gather to talk about life, addiction, Lukas' struggle with drugs and the challenges that mental health has on oneself and the family.
A long term goal
We are working to provide a program that will pair at-risk youth with rescue animals. Animal therapy has consistently proven to beneficial to people with various mental health struggles. There is something unique about the healing powers of caring for an animal that is dependant on you.
