BC declared a public health emergency in April 2016 as a result of rising deaths due to overdose, which is now more aptly identified as deaths resulting from a toxic drug supply.
Following the public health emergency declaration in April 2016, PAN centred discussions on substance use and harm reduction at our member conference in the fall of that year. Coming from community requests, we developed two initial reports in 2016 and 2017, and Substance Use News as an ongoing publication. Substance Use News is a monthly collection of advocacy news and resources on the social, medical and political responses to the toxic drug supply crisis.
Find additional resources on the toxic drug supply’s impact on our Substance Use and Overdose Response page.
