Join us on Wednesday, August 28th, 2024 at 5pm at Memorial Park along White Rock Beach.
IOAD is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died from overdose, and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind.
This year’s theme, “Together We Can,” inspires us to unite. Join us as we form a chain – holding hands or using paper – and stand proudly along White Rock Pier. Let’s showcase the strength of our community when we stand together.
Agenda:
5:00pm – Opening ceremony and sharing stories from people with lived/living experience
6:00pm – Hands Across White Rock Pier activity and BBQ
7:00pm to 8:00pm – Resource tables, naloxone training, and activities
8:00pm – Candlelight ceremony and lighting of pier lights purple
This could not be done without the support from community partners: Peer Support Network, Alex House, South Asian Health Institute, Fraser Region Aboriginal Friendship Centre Association and more
