Wear purple tomorrow 💜 (August 31)
Join me to imagine a world where a substance use disorder is TRULY viewed as a health issue.
Let's change the narrative. People who use drugs must be seen to truly be heard for real policy change.
Show others you see them by busting out your best purple duds.
It would make my heart happy.

The city has declared a state of emergency related to #homelessness, the #DrugPoisoning crisis, & the #MentalHealth crisis.
Is calling on the province to act and invest in solutions to end the multi-layered crisis.
Keep it going. What municipality will declare a state of emergency next in #Ontario ?

The drug poisoning crisis is in every community with over 50% dying in private residences. Tonight myself and @KathleenRadu are sharing our experience, pain and hope with the community of Fleetwood. Ending stigma one talk at a time! #Drugpoisoning #Endstigma
