International Overdose Awareness Day – Gravenhurst

Time to Remember. Time to Act.

Join CMHA Muskoka-Parry Sound and community partners in Gravenhurst on August 31 for International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD).

International Overdose Awareness Day is a time to remember the lives lost to overdose, support those who are still with us, challenge the stigma surrounding substance use, and raise awareness about how we can help save lives.

📍 Gravenhurst Community BBQ

Date: August 31
Time: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Location: Trinity United Church
Address: 290 Muskoka Rd N., Gravenhurst

Connect. Learn. Support.

Come by for a FREE BBQ and an opportunity to connect with local organizations and community resources.

There will also be information available about naloxone and naloxone training opportunities, as well as supports available to individuals and families affected by substance use.

International Overdose Awareness Day is about more than remembering those we have lost. It is also about coming together as a community, reducing stigma, sharing knowledge, and making sure people know that support is available.

Whether you join us to remember someone, learn something new, connect with resources, or show your support, you are welcome.
