Prairie Harm Reduction warmly invites you to join us in marking International Overdose Awareness Day with a community vigil on:

Date: Sunday, August 31, 2025
Time: 2:00 PM
Location: Station 20 West, 1120 20th Street W, Saskatoon

This gathering will honor the lives lost to overdose, including the 20 people connected to PHR’s services who have died this year. Together, we will reflect, remember, and stand in solidarity with families, friends, and communities impacted by the overdose crisis. It is also a time for us to come together as organizations and community members to call for urgent, collective action. We would be honored to have you join us as we remember those we’ve lost and continue working toward solutions.
Attending IOAD is an important way for public health professionals to show their support for evidence-based approaches to reducing overdose harms in our community.
