International Overdose Awareness Day in Calgary

August 31 marks international overdose awareness day. International Overdose Awareness Day (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.

The IOAD 2023 theme “Recognizing those people who go unseen” is about acknowledging people in our communities who are affected by overdose but might go unseen in the crisis.

Join a bunch of the cities organizations to learn more and support your community. Meet various front line supports as well as other community agencies directly impacted, responding, or supporting in and around the crisis.
