Purple Landmarks

Let’s light up purple for overdose awareness on August 31

Each year on the night of August 31, landmarks all around the world light up purple for International Overdose Awareness Day.

It’s one of the most visible and powerful ways we can raise awareness of the growing global overdose crisis and pay tribute to those who have tragically lost their lives.

Over the years, we’ve seen amazing landmarks get involved, including LAX and Staples Centre in Los Angeles, the CN Tower in Toronto, Flinders St Station in Melbourne, and many more.

Together, we can make a powerful statement – that overdose is preventable, and we are committed to ending overdose in our communities.
