This event brings community members in Hamilton together in recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day. Join us as we raise awareness about the overdose crisis, the toxic drug supply and its impact on our community.

Together, we will recognize, and support community members impacted by overdose and drug poisoning, acknowledging their grief and honoring those we have lost.

We will combat stigma and the dehumanization of people who use drugs by promoting empathy, understanding, and open conversations.

There will be guest speakers, community booths offering services and education, a creative space, and lunch will be provided.
