Partners and Allies!

Tomorrow, Ottawa's first overdose prevention site will open.  Please
consider supporting this important initiative!

*About:*
We are community members, and service providers in Ottawa who have come
together to respond to an overdose crisis that has taken so many of our
friends and loved ones from us.  This is a health emergency that requires
action.

We are inspired by the actions taken in other cities and are determined to
provide our community with the same life-saving service it needs. We also
encourage others, in their communities, to do precisely the same.
(for more about us, check out: www.overdosepreventionottawa.wordpress.com)

*Donations:*
Donations make a huge difference and allow us to purchase essential
supplies for the site! We will also accept other types of donations
(including equipment) - contact us here: overdosepreventionottawa at gmail.com
To make a financial donation, go to: www.gofundme.com/

the smoother it will be for us to stay open. Follow us on Facebook and
Twitter.
