🦋 International Overdose Awareness Day 🦋

On August 28th, we gathered at Shxwha:y Village for a day of remembrance, connection, and healing. Together, we honored the lives lost and the families forever changed by overdose.

With live music, a butterfly release, resource tables, face painting, healing touch from One Human Initiative, food trucks, and community support, it was a day to grieve, remember, and stand in solidarity. 💜

We carry the memories of those we’ve lost in our hearts and continue the work of compassion, awareness, and hope.

IOAD 2025 is coming up. Our event, hosted by CCAT and Shxwha:y Village continues to grow each year. Our local event is themed “Stronger Together” as we unite to honour lives lost, support those affected, and work to end stigma around substance use and addiction. 💜 Please come out. If your organization would like to register for a resource table, please be sure to confirm your attendance with us.

Our Purple Chair is displayed in the lobby of the Chilliwack health unit. 💜 This is to raise awareness about the toxic drug crisis and to honour and remember lost loved ones who leave an empty chair at the table.

Your CCAT executive was at Sardis Park today. What a fantastic day!

Wow, that prize wheel is an amazing thing. I had to fight back tears a few times listening to the kids’ answers to: what they are proud of in themselves, what they want in a friend, something that they’ve done recently that was really hard or someone they really look up to. All of the questions/answers and conversations with the older kids and adults around themes of stigma, resilience, statistics, and harm reduction are so powerful as well, and such an easy activity to impart meaningful information in a mutually engaging way.

Thank you to Wilma's Transition Society for creating such an amazing and important day for the community, and for including us!

(Was so good to see you for a few minutes, Brenda!! Continue to heal and we will see you soon!!)
