From 12pm to 4pm, at the Front Street Gazebo, Firepit, and Picnic Shelter, join us in holding a day of honoring those affected by the drug toxicity crisis. Drop-in and participate in a vigil, harm reduction education, and guided art activities.
From 7pm to 9pm, at KIAC Dënäkär Zho, join us for a private film screening of “Love in the Time of Fentanyl.” The film is a Canadian documentary made in Vancouver that engages the stories of community members in the Downtown Eastside as they navigate responding to the opioid crisis. Film is 16 + (or with parental consent) – depictions of intravenous drug use and medical intervention.
