Overdose Awareness Memorial Event

Join us on Wednesday, August 27th from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM at Rotary Park for a quiet evening of remembrance, connection, and hope. This memorial event honours lives lost to overdose and offers space for healing and reflection.
The ceremony will include poetry, music, a reading of names, and opportunities to engage in meaningful acts of remembrance—such as planting a flag in our memorial garden or writing a letter to a loved one at our "Letter to Heaven" station. Local organizations will also be present with resources and support including Naloxone training.
Together, we remember those we’ve lost, support those who grieve, and raise awareness in our community.
