Peers is excited to launch our speaker series this week on the toxic drug crisis. “Out of Harm’s Way: Insight, Innovation and Action on the Toxic Drug Crisis” gets underway Wednesday with the first of three events.

Join us Wednesday Jan. 29, 1-4 p.m. in the sanctuary at First Metropolitan Church (corner of Quadra and Balmoral streets) for our opening event, featuring a dialogue with former BC Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe, Leslie McBain of Moms Stop the Harm, harm reduction and recovery advocate Guy Felicella, QomQem Director Lacey Jones, Canadian Drug Policy Coalition ED DJ Larkin, and BC’s former provincial medical health officer, Dr. Perry Kendall.

More details at the link, where we’ll be posting more information about the next two events soon. All events are free – hope to see you there for one of the most important conversations of this decade.
