If you want to learn more about the overdose crisis in British Columbia and about substance use, harm reduction and stigma reduction, then this two-part educational series is for you. This event is for members of the local community, service providers and civic leaders who want to learn more about reducing stigma, substance use and harm from an Indigenous perspective.
This event is a collaboration with ANKORS, the Nelson Fentanyl Task Force and the Circle of Indigenous Nations Society.
This is a two-part event, each taking place from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
