Edmonton Unites In Remembrance: International Overdose Awareness Day

EDMONTON, CANADA - August 31, 2023: A woman writes a message on a purple chair in memory of those lost to drug overdoses as many Edmontonians gathered at Victoria Park this evening to mark the annual International Overdose Awareness Day, on August 31, 2023, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Edmonton's Overdose Awareness Day raises funds and awareness about the tragic impact of drug poisoning deaths on the community and provides support for grieving families and healthcare professionals. The urgency is highlighted by a nine percent increase in opioid-related deaths in 2023, with 770 deaths in the first five months, compared to 701 in 2022. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)

    EDMONTON, CANADA - SEPTEMBER 29, 2023: A homeless woman sleeping on the street in downtown Edmonton, on September 29, 2023, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Canada's downtowns, vital for economic growth and social vitality, are in crisis due to the pandemic, economic shifts, changing work patterns, opioid crisis, mental health issues, and homelessness. Edmonton, for example, faces a rising office vacancy rate post-pandemic, leading building owners and managers to collaborate with community groups on drug, homelessness, and crime issues. Solving these complex challenges requires a whole-of-society approach, involving the private sector, civil society, and all levels of government, with the need for creative, multi-stakeholder solutions to secure our cities' futures.
