International Overdose Awareness Day | August 31

Every statistic tells a story. Every number represents a person, a family member, a friend, a coworker, or a neighbour.

• 80% of those who died were men
• 68% were between 30-59 years old
• 53% of deaths occurred in a private home
• 21% were employed in trades, trucking, and equipment operations
• 28% occurred in supportive housing, shelters, hotels, and other residences
• 35-40% of First Nations toxic drug poisoning deaths were First Nations women and girls
• 80% involved fentanyl

• 83 people who called the lower Sunshine Coast home died from toxic drug poisoning

These numbers challenge many of the assumptions people hold about who is affected by the toxic drug crisis. The reality is that substance use and toxic drug poisonings touch families, workplaces, homes, and communities across British Columbia.

We remember those who have died. We support those grieving. We honour the lives behind the statistics. We raise awareness to reduce stigma and encourage compassion.

Join us as we come together in remembrance, reflection, and community.

• Monday, August 31, 2026
• 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
• Hackett Park, ch’atlich - Sechelt

Together, we remember. Together, we learn. Together, we work toward a future where fewer lives are lost.
