11:00 am – 1 pm @ Health and Wellness Centre
Lunch at 12 pm

Please join us for a moment of remembrance, awareness, and reflection.

Together we will honour those lost to overdose through ribbon tying at the bridge, community speakers, and a moment of silence.

If you would like to honour a loved one, please bring a photo to be included in our commemorative candlelight vigil display at the Health Centre.
