Overdose Awareness Alberta
Breaking the Stigma, Saving Lives
The overdose crisis in Alberta is a growing public health emergency. Our mission is to raise awareness, honor the lives lost, and break the stigma around addiction and overdose. Through education, harm reduction, and community support, we are working to save lives in Fort McMurray, Edmonton, and Calgary. Every person affected by addiction deserves compassion and access to life-saving resources—because no one should be forgotten.
