International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember those who have died from an overdose, and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind.

In Canada, drugs now kill more people than HIV/AIDS in 1995 at the height of the crisis.The drug overdose epidemic is one of the most serious public health emergencies our country has ever faced. With over 8,000 deaths reported in 2023, we are now losing 22 people every single day. This crisis is driven by an unregulated and increasingly toxic street supply of synthetic drugs. The tragic impacts of this epidemic vibrate through every community, and Prince Edward Island is not immune.
