For National Addictions Awareness Week, we’re sharing this post from Canadian Centre on Substance Use that reminds us that addiction is a health issue, not a choice.

🕯️ Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims 🕯️

Today we remember all those lost or affected by road crashes around the world. Every life mattered, and every story counts.

Whether it’s a loved one, friend, or neighbor, these losses touch entire communities.🚗💔

Let’s take a moment to:

- Reflect on road safety
- Support those who are grieving
- Commit to safer driving

Together, we can make our roads safer for everyone. Stay alert, drive safe, and look out for each other.

November 16 is the start of National Addictions Awareness Week – a time for people in Canada to learn more about prevention and harm reduction, talk about treatment and recovery, and discuss solutions for change.
The theme for 2025 is Anchoring Hope; so we want to ask… What do you hope our community will do to better support people who use substances?

The TBDHU Sexual Health Clinic is proud to be a positive space for 2SLGBTQI+ persons, so we're boosting this message from Rainbow Collective of Thunder Bay for Transgender Awareness Week.

This Trans 🏳️‍⚧️ Awareness Week, let’s transform awareness into action. It’s not enough to just know the struggles of trans communities—we must actively advocate for policy change, foster inclusion, support trans voices, and combat violence. Awareness is the first step, but real change happens when we take action. Let’s make the world safer and more inclusive for trans people.
