Today is Black Balloon Day, a day to remember those we've lost to toxic drugs. It is also a time to acknowledge the systemic failures that contributed to each life taken far too soon. To those we've lost: 🖤You are loved. 🖤You are missed. 🖤You are remembered. #BlackBalloonDay
On Black Balloon Day, we honour those lost to drug poisoning and other substance-related harms. Jeff's path, defined by his struggles with addiction, and the heartbreaking death of his friend Evan due to drug poisoning, became the driving force behind LDH #BlackBalloonDay

Today is Black Balloon Day, a day to remember those we've lost to toxic drugs. It is also a time to acknowledge the systemic failures that contributed to each life taken far too soon. To those we've lost: 🖤You are loved. 🖤You are missed. 🖤You are remembered. #BlackBalloonDay
Most of our loved ones were home when they died. Homes big and small, rural, urban, on reserves and off. Some unhoused but home. We don't have to “bring” people. We have to keep them - alive. #cdnpoli #DrugPoisoningCrisis
Canada needs a recovery-oriented system of addiction care - not taxpayer-funded drugs and decriminalization. Conservatives believe every Canadian with an addiction deserves the opportunity to pursue recovery.
@lifeguarddh @N8V_Calgarian @BraveCoop Transparency about the number of reported overdose reversals gives users the confidence they need. Thank you for sharing and for the service you provide.
The toxic drug crisis is affecting all walks of life in B.C. and our paramedics see the devastating impact every day. BCEHS paramedics are reminding people it's best not to use alone, but if you do, to use the #LifeGuardApp. @lifeguarddh #IOAD2022 #EndOverdose
@lifeguarddh It’s the sad reality of this crisis that we need to be properly preparing our high school students to respond to drug poisonings. There is already some great work being done on this front by @ChloeGoodison6 and the @NaloxHome team.
Today’s funding of nearly $40M for 73 projects across 🇨🇦 addressing harm reduction & prevention will allow initiatives like @PHScss’ Lifeguard app, which links drug users to emergency responders in the case of an overdose, to continue saving the lives of people using substances.
"There's simply no question, this program will save lives" - Micheal Vonn, PHS CEO. @Carolyn_Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, yesterday announced 73 Substance Use and Addictions Program projects. We received funding to use the Lifeguard app through our housing
Lifeguard can be downloaded here: apps.apple.com/ca/app/connect… For more details about today’s announcement, see the following news release: canada.ca/en/health-cana…
Last month we tested a total of 90 samples across our 4 sites. If you want to learn more check out the harm reduction teams website linked in our bio. If you are using any substances we encourage using with a buddy or using @lifeguarddh Start with a low dose and go slow
I saw an unconscious man on the grass by my bike route+went to check to make sure he was ok. Looked like he’d OD’d but was still breathing (slowly) so I stayed by him+tried to wake him. Took a while; almost called paramedics, almost narcanned him, but then he opened his eyes.
"Two of these samples contained the highest concentrations of carfentanil that we have seen to date: 0.79% and 0.95%. Both samples additionally contained flualprazolam, a benzodiazepine, at concentrations around 1%." The illicit supply is a toxic sludge. substance.uvic.ca/blog/february-…
We've recently confirmed an increase of fentanyl contamination within the cocaine supply in Victoria, BC (#yyj) with a number of samples testing positive for fentanyl. Fentanyl test strips are effective in detecting fentanyl in cocaine. Consider #drugchecking your coke!
Colourless crystal bought as methamphetamine causing ODs tested positive for fentanyl in Vancouver. Check your drugs at any OPS/SCS. vch.ca/drugchecking Use naloxone. #overdosealert #radaralert #vancouver

Responded to an overdose in the encampment tonight. A woman was supporting the overdosing man’s body—blue, rigid, pinpoint pupils, eyes rolled back—as we gave narcan and checked vitals. I asked her if she knew him, she said “not personally but we’re all family here…”
