RESOURCE GUIDE
About this project Recognizing the tragic consequences the current opioid crisis is having on our community, Monday Magazine, Victoria News and Black Press Media wanted to find a way to respond in a meaningful way – to make a difference. Inspired by our sister publication in Washington State, the Everett Herald, and the work being done by so many here at home, we created the Overdose Prevention Guide. This publication would not have been possible without our community partners, The Victoria Foundation, United Way Greater Victoria, Camosun College and the Saunders Family Foundation, in addition to the support of the teams at Island Health and AVI. Thank you all for making a difference.
