The event has been rescheduled for tomorrow and the NRHA’S Christa McIntire explains the history behind the event and what will be taking place in Flin Flon. 

"So International  Overdose Awareness Day is an annual campaign held across the World on August the 31st. The purpose is to hopefully end drug overdoses and also to remember those that have died and acknowledge the grief of family and friends. We invite everyone to come out to our event and we are going to have free food, entertainment, Naloxone training and we will also have information sharing."

It takes place at Pioneer Square between noon and 1:30 pm and is being held in conjunction with the Play It Safer Network and Manitoba Harm Reduction Network.
